All credit should go to Pete Lloyd and James Scrivens of Coed Taylan fungarium! for inoculating the logs on recently fallen oak. Thanks so much. And no plastic in this magic!
“In the author’s experience, for every 900 g of shiitake mushroom yield, ~15 g of HDPE bags [non-biodegradable, disposable high-density polyethylene bags] become waste. This means that if the global production of shiitake mushroom is 10 million tons based on past literature [from 2017], then more than 160,000 tons of waste is produced annually.” (23 p5) From herbal reality sustainably info.
