10 pounds in total I'm guessing. Biggest haul in 3 years.

I just stack em up and let nature do its thing, then just gotta be Johnny on the spot to harvest when they're ready. Tarping is a good idea though when I see pins before hot weather which happens quite a bit especially with my oysters. I've lost a couple harvests this way. I never water mostly bc I can't be bothered.

But yeah logs are the way to go, you can pony up a bit for the tools, I think it's like 30 bucks or so, then get huge yields for years. Totem style is even easier just need a chain saw and a trash bag. I should post a guide on that.

The hard part is finding clean wood unless you have land with small trees then you are good to go. And shiitake will grow on anything pretty much. Arborists can drop off logs but a lot of them will be sick so it's a crap shoot.

Yeah we have a friend that's in arborist. That's how I started this log in a few other ones. Unfortunately my physical health makes drilling a lot of holes difficult.

Of course, I didn't realize they would fruit for five plus years. Which makes the effort a lot more worthwhile, which is why I want to start some more.
