My partners and I are keen to do some more mushroom cultivation on our land, so we figured we'd visit the OG of log-grown shiitake-Steve and Anne Sierigk from Hawk Meadow Farm back in May. (And yes, it was THAT cold in May to wear a jacket!)
Steve was the first cultivator of log-grown shiitake on the east coast of the United States and has inspired countless people to take up the ranks. He takes us through his personal story, the history of shiitake in the area, and how to inoculate logs and harvest the mushrooms.

I love the dynamic of an "interviewer", who personally understands a topic, discussing a niche subject with a professional. The conversational tone and camera works/interaction is so natural... If the other videos on this channel are half as good - Big Fan!

This is so great I love mushrooms I wish I new someone we could look for this kind and and others in the woods here in Arkansas. I am 80and have very S.S. I love porchabella mushroom s but in the store they cost so much can't afford to buy them.They are good to ward off Cancers. Thank you so much for posting this.

@eileenklinghagen3087 Год назад

@Delphia Villars Hello from Minnesota. I'm 75 and enjoy mushrooms over most you ge in grocery stores. When you get the mushrooms they have more vitamin c if you put them in the sun 30-40 minutes.

SHITake is the only hybrid manmade mushroom I AVOID it. Not worth the time.

@julielopez3345 Год назад

@@jessedeane6036 I did not know that it is a hybrid!! I know it’s a cancer fighter. So are other mushrooms like Lions mane.

My question is about using dried or powdered mushrooms. They are added to shakes, coffee, and tea so they aren’t getting cooked for the 20 min. needed to break down the kitein. ( I know I’m not spelling it right). So how is it ok to use?

Great video! I've been cultivating indoors and out for several years now and I totally agree that the fungi I grow outside in beds have a better texture than inside using sawdust blocks. And the absolute best mushrooms are the ones I grow on logs outside, Texture and taste.

@emalinel 3 года назад

mmmm i've usually been skeptical about the medicinal value of fungi (not because I don't believe food can't be medicine and sustenance for our bodies, but more because of the overflow of supposedly health-conscious products that use fungi) but this video does bring the message back home: the same foods we find flavorful and that struggle in their native (or close to native environments) give us medicinal benefits for our everyday lives. Thanks for another great video! I learned a lot about shiitake production today :)

@deedahl2866 Год назад

I used pallet wrap on freshly inoculated Shiitake logs and saw amazing results! I would pour water in through a hole in the top and then pull the plastic wrap back over the hole. It would soak into the logs slowly. Then I would turn them over and let the little bit of water run back down the other way. I did this until there was no more water running. WORKED GREAT!

@wendyshoowaiching4161 Год назад

Shitake is delicious. Mince meat, mushrooms slices, chopped garlic, chopped Shallots, oyster sauce, white pepper powder (little), little, sugar, light soy sauce. Dash sesame oil. Little dark soy sauce for coloring brown. Some corn starch diluted. Enough thickening. Good to eat like spegethi Noodle ( angle hair) with bok choy or choy sum. Toppings, fried garlic 1 teaspoon, chopped green onion.

Shiitakes are the Best Kept Secret for good health and awesome taste/nutrition! I had 500 natural logs inoculated many years ago, when living in NE Oklahoma. Unfortunately, the contacts that I had only wanted 5-10 pounds a week when I was trying to sell 50 pounds a week to each location. I ended up dehydrating and keeping a LOT of powdered Shiitake for my own human consumption! The inoculation process is like working in a prison labor camp; but the rewards of knowing YOU did the work, and how they grew, naturally, without chemicals or pesticides, made it worth the effort. #1 Son is the "new" strain that I tried most recently.

It doesn’t taste earthy like the mushrooms but it’s beneficial as it’s the extract mixed in and less caffeine which Americans can do less of and more of mushrooms. Mind immunity etc is all good. Wonderful field trip today watching this

Its amazing to discover that its actually the same for all plants that the more struggle they go through when growing the more benefits they have in them. And I think we as people are the same. The more struggle we go through and if we can grow from it instead of it breaking us down the better we become for it.

Thank you for sharing 👍👍

@twistertruecrime Год назад

Great info here. I think if I were using the inoculation tool on a regular basis, I would wear a glove with a thick pad to protect the palm of my hand from the pounding motion of getting the medium to release into the hole. Having worked in the nursery industry myself, I recieved an injury to my hand from repeatedly using the palms of my hands to compact soil when potting plants. Badically wrapoing hands around the pot, with thumbs pressed against the stem of the plant to keep it centered vertically, then pounding the pot on the table to compact the soit. At one point, I compleatly lost the use of my right thumb for almost a year. If your hand feels numb , esoecially at night... Beware. 😊 I now insert a pad inside my glove,and it works great.

@allnaturalhomesteaders Год назад

Older wood produces mushrooms better because of the moisture level. In the woods when you go mushroom hunting, you look for older logs with mushrooms, not newer fallen trees, but at least 2 year old trees. Because of moisture levels in the trees. They also enjoy growing closer to the ground, instead of putting pine needles on your wood, put leaves! The leaves hold in the moisture and they rot, providing food for the mushrooms, the leaves are just better. Pick up a bunch of leaves, and just cover your cabins in leaves, try it on one, and you'll notice a huge difference! Also it will help retain heat in cooler months. I absolutely love mushrooms one of my favorite foods! Always has been! Yummy!

@LouiseAdie-zm2jf 8 месяцев назад

Maybe both pine branches and leaves? Steve said the reason for the pine was to reduce the wind desiccating the logs.

@Tiziano182 10 месяцев назад

About 5 years ago I cleared some large oak trees from around my home. I bought several thousand inoculation plugs of Shiitake and oyster mushrooms. I cut up the limbs to get the correct size logs. I had five stacks. I got 10, yes just 10, mushrooms. After three years the logs basically disappeared. I live in north Florida, I guess it is too hot here.

If they are from Humboldt seeds it’s their take on Chem 91. Meaning crossed to one or 2 of their house strains then back crossed. Chem 91 does lean sativa and goes over 9 weeks. That one on the left in morphology does look like an old school skunk plant and all the Chem is old school so at least you know you’re not growing some new watered down domestic strain.

I was raised told by all of my elders that mushrooms have no nutritional value it's just fungus. we know now that that is not true and it's true when you listen to these people talking this video they're very knowledgeable but they're lacking in one thing. the latest research in mycelium and its role in the forest is much more important than we ever knew. do you know that trees are very social they're not independent things that grow. their social and they're socially ways that one tree variety may have been anybody the other tree may be dying of and because of mycelium they can share their nutrients all the whole Forest is connected and it's all through mycelium that this happens. and mushrooms is away for mycelium to breed. So when I see all the enthusiasm about mycelium and just mycology as a whole I am excited to know that and it's exciting to see videos like this where people actually have an appreciation for mycology

@stevendover2526 Год назад

While I appreciate the video, much was left out. Shiitake is a saprophytic white rot fungus meaning it eats the sapwood. Logs should be kept in/under Pine trees when grown outside because only black rot fungus grows on Pine trees so there's less chance of another white rot fungus invading your logs. White rot fungus will be around hardwood trees and could possibly invade your logs. The Shiitake will first claim the whole log for itself further warding off other fungus. I used Sweet Gum logs in my area since it's not used for much else and because White Oak has value. Books say that White Oak is the closest thing the US has to the tree Shiitake grows on in its home country. Books also say that Shiitake has more protein per ounce than anything known to man. Also, if you can find an old refrigerator that does not defrost itself your stored Shiitake will keep longer due to not drying out as quick. I inoculated my first logs in 1994, and they started producing a few mushrooms within 6 months. They taste good! They are *very* nutritious, and quite a unique hobby too.

@DanielinLaTuna Год назад

Steven, when you say sweet gum, are you referring to the gum trees that Aussies grow (eucalyptus), or do you mean American sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Thanks in advance. Daniel

Wow awesome, you can produce your own spawn using a sterile culture, or you can buy ready-to-inoculate spawn, which are carried by suppliers. I have been running my mushroom business since 2014 after buying logs from Agrinoon(Fujian). I grow mushrooms like Shiitake, Oyster, and Morels.
