Inoculated Shiitake Logs

Oak logs, 4 ft. long average 5″ diameter, inoculated the previous year with a multi-range temperature strain. Start date of possible fruiting is spring of 2018. With proper management should produce a minimum 1-2 lbs per year for 4-5 years.

A sheet detailing management techniques will accompany every order.The logs are to be kept outside in the shade, or bush, or in a greenhouse type setting. They must be checked occasionally for dehydration and watered occasionally to keep up the moisture content of the log. Ideal for cottages due to the low maintenance factor.

The logs that we have as of spring 2017 are logs that will be inoculated in 2017.  These logs are intended to start fruiting in spring 2018.  Note that we are  now advising our customers to wait for the first ‘naturally induced fruiting’ before initiating ‘forced fruiting’ protocol.   Forced fruiting is part of an intensive management regime with soaking every 8 weeks during the local harvest season.  The alternative management regime is to allow environmental conditions of light, temperature, and rainfall to guide the fruiting of the logs.  Please read the log management sheet for fuller information Log Management Following Spawn Run
