This page provides basic farming techniques and economic information for growing shiitake businesses.

 Although you may encounter one of the 10,000 fruit-bearing mushroom in the Eastern Forest, only a few can be grown faithfully. These are rotting fungi that can be grown on logs, trunks, vessels, and vegetable beds.

 Varieties include Shiitake

(Lentinula edodes), Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus), Lions Mane (Hericium spp.), Red Wine (Stropharia Rugosa-annulata), shroom bros Agaricus (Agaricus subrufescens), and Nameko (Pholiota nameko).

Each mushroom has its own favorite types of wood and how to grow it successfully. ONLY log shiitake can be faithfully grown outdoors as a commercial crop, although some species may provide additional income if they produce.

Shiitake mushrooms are among the oldest agricultural plants, and they have been cultivated for a few thousand years in parts of China, Korea, and Japan. They were first cultivated in North America in the 1980s and provided the most economically viable methods for all foreign mushroom growing methods. Previous research data shows that.

In three seasons, the performance of 1,000 logs will cost $ 4,740 to establish and will produce 1,040 pounds of mushrooms per year and can generate $ 12,480 per grower per year. This standard can be maintained continuously from the fourth year onwards and will qualify the producer for agricultural release in New York.

Oyster and Lions Mane in Stumps and Totems

Both Oyster and Lion Mane mushrooms can be easily grown on stumps or "totems", which are large stems that stand at the end. This is sometimes called "chainsaw inoculations" as one only needs a saw and a bag of mushroom seeds to complete the task. See the videos below to learn how!

While oysters can produce three to three times during the growing season, four lions usually produce fruit once a year, in the fall.

Wine Hat in Woodchip Beds

Wine Cap mushrooms, also known as Stropharia and Garden Giant, are among the first easy-to-grow mushrooms. All you need is a space made of solid wood or grass to get started. Putting a Wine Cover in the covered areas of a farm or garden is fine, whether it be vegetables, berries, or fruit trees.

They can be injected at any time during the growing season and will produce from 2 - 6 months after shroom bros (provided the temperature is still warm enough). They can be planted successfully on trays or pots. Once completed, the clip can last for certain seasons, and can be used to launch new episodes.
