I ordered 250 Shiitake mushroom plugs. They arrived within the next few days and they looked great! I got them all put in the logs yesterday so now I wait 😊

I've contacted the company multiple times and they don't respond. My logs are over a year old with no results. I bought from this company for their guarantee. They do not honor their advertised guarantee.

So. It's been years. My mother bought me a shittake log for Christmas. I soaked the log in non chlorinated water, rain water, in a clean 5gal bucket. I sat it on a lower branch of a tree out of the sun.. I checked it often to make sure it didn't dry out. The wax eventually started popping off. When I got a close look, it had green mold at all the inoculation points. It never grew one shittake mushroom. As someone who is use to growing mushroom, I knew it went bad. Several years later it produced mushrooms but they were 100% not shittake. They were just some random wild, non edible mushrooms. I was interested in them anyway so I asked a mycologist for a proper ID. He gave his best guesses without actually having it in hand. I believe he was correct when I searched the names myself. Mean green happens sometimes, I realize that, but fresh shittake would have been great. But I do have wild edible relatives in my area I think I might try next time I find them. I can get them fresh from an Asian market, but they're kinda sus. I still have the log lol. It's probably been 5yrs maybe more. I still check it out for new mushrooms now & then.

Don't give up!! Got this log for Christmas in 2022 (sorry 2020). Tried various things, and all of a sudden they are popping out all over. We live in North Idaho so it got cold, snow, and rain.

In January 2021 I bought shitake spawn and oyster spawn. I followed the directions carefully and now in December 2021, I'm seeing my first oyster mushrooms come out.
