Bear here.... Some of you may recall that Theresa and I bought nine mushroom logs this spring that were inoculated with shitaki spoors last year. We set them up and were ready for the big hauls of edible shrooms, one in late spring and the other in the fall. Let's see how much 80 bucks can save us. During the "mushroom season" in early spring we got... 1 f*ing mushroom, a small one. Theresa picked it and I left the damn thing in the refrigerator too long and we had to throw it away. I was not amused.
| This is the unamusing pile of logs. We walk past it often since it's in our front yard and notice fungus that shouldn't be there. Until today. I was talking crap to a squirrel that was on the logs and I noticed something strange...  | AMUSEMENT! There was a large mushroom that looked good enough for picking. With further inspection I noticed 5 (yes, count 'em, 5) shrooms that were good enough to harvest and eat. (After Theresa rescued the bugs off of them.) And...  |
| Other spoors were bulging. It looks like we could get many more shrooms in the near future. We will see. | This is a bad picture of other shrooms or fungus on the log. If anyone knows what these are or if they are edible, let us know, thanks. |

All you need is patience, and good timing, and good things will come to you. I am frying these shrooms tonight! I have also stopped thinking that these logs would make a nice, large bonfire and am instead waiting to see what the total bounty will be. Type at ya later.
