Shiitake Log
    #14451740 - 05/14/11 02:44 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I bought a log inoculated with shiitake spores, and the directions aren't particularly clear.

The log was cold shocked for 24 hours, and currently, it has only one mushroom growing out of one of the ten cavities. I understand that the first flush is not particularly the best, so I am not too worried about that.

The manual says to let the log rest for 2 months after harvesting without soaking, followed by again cold shocking to initiate the fruiting (which appears to be within a few days after soaking). What confuses me, is that  the manual also says that maintenance soaking is to be done every 2 weeks for 12 hours.

When is this maintenance soaking supposed to occur?
Does "harvest" refer to harvesting multiple flushes (and maintenance soaking during this period) until the log seems to be done flushing, then go to post harvest 2 month rest?

Anybody with shiitake experience please lend any advice you can.
Thanks
