Bradford Pear Stumps

David, standing by some of the bradford pear stumps we innoculated today.

We used dowels innoculated with an Oyster strain obtained from Omon at NC A&T

there is David kneeling in the background.The whiteness of the stumps is old parafin wax left over from making candles.

This is the only stump that was innoculated with a Shiitake strain as it was isolated away from the other stumps.

Shiitake Harvest

Wow, so we had a lot of rain last weekend. These logs are about 2 years old, and they are starting to produce nicely. I would say I just picked about 3-4 pounds of mushrooms last night, and I have more to that were not quite ready. Just last month I harvested about 2 pounds.
