Various species grow on hard or soft wood logs. If you have access to fresh logs, this is a great way of turning dead space into a garden. These will produce 1-3lbs of shiitake per log per year. I got them for free when a redditor was cutting down a tree on their farm so it can be very low-cost high-yield.
Oh hell yeah chicken of the woods are so damn good I’m gonna be watching this project keep us updated!
