Once we have our chicken project out of the way I am sure growing mushrooms will soon follow! great postLittle Mountain Havenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11951624062205713165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631374415610618691.post-2799851707983057192013-02-01T15:38:17.770-05:002013-02-01T15:38:17.770-05:00Wow, your Shiitakes look gorgeous!

They also have potent antioxidants that help in fighting cancer, and they help lower cholesterol. They’ve been used for medicines in Asia for the past 6,000 years. Have you tried making tea out of your mushrooms? There are lots of preparation tips and recipes for Shiitake tea online.Mack Sheppersonhttp://www.mushroomscience.com/products/cordyceps-mushroom/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631374415610618691.post-76472045327603033712012-11-16T10:39:27.053-05:002012-11-16T10:39:27.053-05:00i roast mushrooms & freeze them.i roast mushrooms & freeze them. donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659999755051008318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631374415610618691.post-22360557074061147162012-11-15T21:01:24.446-05:002012-11-15T21:01:24.446-05:00Hahaha, i can't imagine what that smell is lik...Hahaha, i can't imagine what that smell is like! I am laughing as i am visualizing what the family members look like. If it is in the tropics, drying is easy and fast, and not many people will be affected.

But maybe big shiitake business have drying machines, with fumes collected by filters!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631374415610618691.post-25718664750524690662012-11-13T13:38:18.391-05:002012-11-13T13:38:18.391-05:00Ah, but the things you CAN grow in the tropics--I&...Ah, but the things you CAN grow in the tropics--I'm envious! I just dried a large batch of the shiitakes, and let me assure you--they're so expensive because they smell so terrible while drying! Honestly, if I had to dry mushrooms for my business, we'd be broke or my family would leave me. Our house smelled horrific.

We are left with the oyster mushrooms mostly. Yours look so healthy and so big, oh so yummy. and that baked product is so mouth watering, i need to visit a restaurant for it. By the way, we get very expensive shiitake already dry, from our cold neighbors!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631374415610618691.post-58215107737411530902012-11-07T22:49:27.933-05:002012-11-07T22:49:27.933-05:00Beautiful mushrooms, beautiful quiche!
