So I just discovered an amazing harvest. I had given up on this Shiitake innoculation that I did in 2011. I figured I had harvested out the shrooms. Nope - on the contrary!! This is the biggest harvest by an order of magnitude greater!! 16 beautiful pounds (16.5 including the stems).
Fresh organic shiitake shroom sells per pound anywhere from $8 to $20. The market price has gone down but still takes a premium for fresh organic wild harvested so around $15. That means I just harvested - over $200 worth of shrooms. Amazing. UPDATE: Our local co-op where we are members and regularly buy the organic, grass-fed food - is selling wild organic shiitake shrooms for $50 a pound!! The bin was empty. That bumps up the value of my harvest to $800 (assuming they are selling the stems as well). I am now drying the shrooms in the sun for a couple days as science has documented Shiitakes soak up a huge amount of D2 and D3 neurohormone/vitamin.
So since this is wild harvested that means it has better nutrients as it has to fight off competition.
I took lots of photos to enjoy this amazing harvest. Not as much as I will enjoy eating this super food gourmet healing nutrition with strong Umami flavor!!
Wow check out how dense that growth is. Amazing.
Nice and dark melanin nutrition.
Yummy umami flavor - just like the best beef but even better for you!!
This appears to be slightly different angle on the same log. Oh well.
Yeah it gets more in the photo.
Yeah that pretty much covers the scenario - two logs - both completely covered in Shiitake Shrooms.
Simply astonishing.
