2’ section of clean maple from a log drop, roughly 8” or so in diameter. inoculated last winter with totem method. Overwinter inoculation in the garage was a good move, I had a fully inoculated log in the spring letting me start a full 3 months earlier. Probably wouldn’t have gotten a harvest this year otherwise.
You can see these all came out of the spawn so I’m hoping to get some from the log itself next year. Time will tell.
Biggest ball is 4” or so across.
Very hype for these as I have never tasted them before. They’re supposed to be delicious and are suuuuper expensive at the store (30-40 usd a pound)
Delicious sauteed in olive oil. Lion's Mane tastes very similar to lobster, and is in every respect nutritionally superior. I'd recommend trying it out in both sandwiches and soups!
We’re gonna sear it like steak 👀
