Greg Judy is a mushroom legend.
A South Pole steak and Shitake mushrooms. Sounds great.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Very cool! I have grown many different types of mushrooms, some were very entertaining😁
Very good source of quality food !
Great mushrooms, boy those would be delicious!
This was very good information.
Mushroom Pot pie! 😍thanks for all the great information Mr. Judy. I'm going to do this in my woods.
Wendy, I would ask the folks at Field and Forest which type mushroom spawn is best to use for your area. Good luck!
Those look great..
Have a wonderful evening 🌻🌻🌻
Nice Mushroom Beds
thanks
Wow!
Mushrooms, Shiitake in particular, impart a flavor to beef dishes called Unami, considered the 5th taste sensation, sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and Unami. Make a perfect compliment to steaks. You can find Unami flavorings based on shiitake mushrooms on Amazon. I live in a similar climate and also have an abundance of honey locust. Time to cut a few special logs.
I'd never make any money growing them: I would simply eat them all. I wouldn't be able to help myself! :)
I wouldn’t say so, you did better than that!. Not expending money is earning money

sometimes you can end up with edible mushrooms growing out of the ground where you were farming then after substrate and garden mulch and wood chips have fallen to the floor below
Have you guys ever used gray birch for shiitake inoculation? Betula populifolia. I am surrounded by them on my property. Very few paper birch. Wanna cut my trees soon. Thks for any advise. Cheers.
Can you inoculate in February cold winter weather. We have weather that is bouncing above and below freezing ...in Celsius it's -10 to +10 here in Ontario.
Yes you can inoculate all winter long.
if you are an urban farmer and you manage property suburb or urban. The logs work just as well as country love go make that mushroom money
Greg, I don’t know where to sell these mushrooms. Could you let me know or maybe comment on how you find buyers?
I see people selling wild mushrooms on Facebook
Did you have to water the logs to keep them from drying out at all?
If you go 3-4 weeks with hot temps and no rain then it is best to water them. This group of logs got watered once in the summer of 2018. We set up a lawn sprinkler from a pump that we hooked to our pond.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thanks. I'll be putting a rain gauge by mine. What did you use for the rails to lean the logs on?
1.25" diameter fiberglass poles, 20' long. I also used some steel pipe on our first bed. Either work fine fastened to steel posts.
What type of pocket knife do you have greg
My knife is a SOG lockblade.
Is there a certain time of year the trees need to be cut?
Nope, cut them any time of the year. They show up better in the winter though.
I think you can used dead logs. You’re right that there’s probably already fungus in it or something, but that’s one reason like some growers in Japan will then sterilize the logs. If you don’t do that then sure don’t use dead logs.
It'd to much work and time to risk using dead logs. Never had a log not produce mushrooms by using green logs
Which all mushrooms did you find are best for our area?
I bought mine in an online store
