Now I have seen it all. I have heard of growing your own 'shrooms, but apparently the hippies of
yesteryear have gone gourmet. Here is a shitake mushroom log that will
produce mushrooms for years, every eight to twelve weeks. The pros? How about delicious shitake mushrooms at your fingertips,
whenever you have the urge to throw them into pasta, decorate a pizza
with them or make some kind of amazing spring roll ala Ming Tsai.
The cons? If you have the slightly browned thumb as opposed to the green
thumb needed to care for this log, you won't end up with many mushrooms.
I also wonder if it would yield enough to really use them for cooking.
All in all, a pretty fun idea for the gourmet who has it all.

I think the log is still good though and I might try keeping it in the basement instead of the back yard. The shitakes were really good and it made about four or five at a time, which is a perfect portion size for a couple.
