@Hans. http://www.learnhowtogrowmushrooms.com has a couple posts about growing on woord. It’s not exactly tree stumps, but it might be helpful. :-)

I’m writing a post about shiitake mushrooms (health benefits), and plan on linking to this post to tell people how to grow them. Thanks so much for the info. I love shiitakes, and it looks easy, so maybe I’ll even give this a try. Thanks again!

I have inoculated oak logs here in N. Virginia for the last 3 years and am harvesting shiitakes from the last two years’ sets of logs and this year’s logs are looking good. We did about 20 logs the first year and about a dozen the last two years. Currently we are not able to eat them as fast as they are growing.

Hi – My husband and I live in NC and we innoculated around 25 logs this past April with the shiitake plugs. I am pleased to announce that after our drenching from tropical storm Faye we have baby shiitakes sprouting from our logs. I am so excited and can’t wait until they are ready to harvest. We are planning to sell at a local tailgate market. Not sure what the going price per pound is though. We live on 17 acres in the Pisgah National Forest so we have plenty of oak trees. We are planning to innoculate another 30 to 50 logs next spring. Good luck!!

Travis – nope, nothing yet. I expect that the soonest I’ll see anything will be next spring, but frankly, this is all an experiment! Fingers crossed.

So, have the sprouts shown any signs of emerging yet?

I’m so excited – I just got logs from a country friend, and my fungi plugs just arrived!
