We had wonderful Indian summer weather today. My son Alex was busy playing outside all afternoon and I was inside watching a pot of applesauce. I've already scorched one pot this fall so I wasn't taking any chances. Hence I had time to take a few more pictures of the mushroom logs. Both the oyster mushrooms and shiitakes have grown but still no action from the pom pom blanc log. The gills on the oyster mushrooms are much more pronounced today and the largest shiitake cap has started to flare. In anticipation of the first harvest I've begun defrosting some phyllo dough but that's as far as I've gone in planning.

If you are interested in your own, I purchased the logs from here.

The baby shiitake mushroom, it just keeps getting cuter!
I can hardly stand how velvety the cap looks.

So fun to see the growth!!
Mushrooms grow so fast! They look good!
I cant wait to find out what the total harvest will be like and if they produce more than once...
That's really neat (and fast!). I'd never considered doing this before, but I'm certainly interested to see how this goes for you in the coming days/weeks/however long this keeps going.
Wow--they look like a Dale Chihuly sculpture! How fascinating!
Fascinating!! Amazing!!!
I am so terrible at gardening....
This is so cool - I keep showing my husband the pictures. We really want to figure out how to do this here!
