    Chinese honey agarics on logs
    Shiitake mushrooms are relatives of honey mushrooms we know well. Like honey mushrooms, Shiitake grows on dead wood, gradually decomposing it. Therefore, it is quite possible to grow them at home or in the garden.
    6 early spring you need to prepare the chunks from the trunks of healthy trees (beech, linden), cut down before the sap move. Lying wood is not good. The diameter must be at least 10 cm, and the length is determined by the dimensions of the container where they will be installed. Before sowing the mushroom picking, the billets are split into logs and soaked for a couple of hours in water, and then held for several days in a warm room under the film.
    After that, holes are drilled in the logs with a diameter of 1 cm and a depth of 5-6 cm. A ready-made substrate with a mycelium (sold in stores) is covered in the holes, and moist cotton wool is put on top.
    It is convenient to place the logs vertically in the container, slightly burying the ends into the soil. They are kept moist. It is difficult to find a suitable place for a “mushroom garden” in an apartment, because the optimum temperature is 15 ° during the day and 10 ° at night. An insulated balcony with heating is best suited. In the summer, the container must be shaded to avoid overheating. Shiitake grows slowly, but then fruiting lasts 2-3 years.
