Inoculated Shiitake Logs will produce delicious mushrooms.

Using high speed drills fitted with a special bit, logs are first drilled and prepared for inoculant.

One happy inoculator shows off a finished log.

Member Liza Wallner serves up a delicious Morel dish after the work is completed.

Using a very high speed angle grinder adapted for drilling takes two to make it safe.

Cooking up fresh Shiitake and Wine Cap Stropharia mushrooms in a little butter proved to be quite popular.

Inoculating oak logs to grow Shiitake mushrooms is a group effort.
