Crafted from local oak, these mushroom towers are innoculated with shiitake mushroom spawn plugs. The plugs are then covered with wax and the entire log is sealed to enhance mushroom production in our arid Colorado climate.
The logs are harvested in winter from live trees to ensure optimal health and highest sugar and nutrient content within the wood. Each log is about 4" in diameter, so you can expect shiitake production for about 4 years with 2-3 flushes per season!
Please note that this is a natural product with variations in production based on micro- climate and seasonal conditions.
Shiitake Mushroom Tower
This is a beautiful sculptural element to have in your garden that adds an added layer of food production to your landscape! Logs can take up to a year to fully innoculate and start producing mushrooms. Your first flush could come as early as Spring- Fall 2024.
