>>909955>What is this?A stand of Maple trees used to gather sap to make maple syrup and maple sugar.
>What does your setup look like?My old shiitake setup was just a few logs lining various blackberry briar beds. I'm moving to Pearl Oyster stuff now and only have a few jars inoculated. Once these are done, I'll pasteurize straw, bag it, and inoculate it. The only equipment that is special is the pressure canner I used to fully sterilize the used coffee grounds in canning jars. I could have pasteurized the grounds, but I needed to store it somewhere other than my freezer until I was ready to use them. Hopefully, at least 1 jar will colonize fully, without mold infection, and I can use it make make straw mushroom kits.
I'll pasteurize the straw using a large stock pot and candy thermometer.
