2’ section of clean maple from a log drop, roughly 8” or so in diameter. inoculated last winter with totem method. Overwinter inoculation in the garage was a good move, I had a fully inoculated log in the spring letting me start a full 3 months earlier. Probably wouldn’t have gotten a harvest this year otherwise.
You can see these all came out of the spawn so I’m hoping to get some from the log itself next year. Time will tell.
Biggest ball is 4” or so across.
Very hype for these as I have never tasted them before. They’re supposed to be delicious and are suuuuper expensive at the store (30-40 usd a pound)
I couldn’t get more than 1-2 meals a year out of my grow anyway. Mushrooms are mostly water, when you dehydrate these things they shrink to 50% of their size. Then powdering shrinks them even further. A couple of capsules of dried powdered mushrooms probably contains as much as my biggest fruit here. And that’s being taken probably daily. Totally different applications.
Also supplements in amerikkka are completely unregulated. Who the fuck knows what is being put in those capsules and labeled as “lions mane”
