My usual source for Shitake logs is Jody Venn (JVenn48970 at aol.com). They
do ship logs, however there are two problems. First, shipping doubles the
price. Second, Jody hurt her back last year, and wasn't able to innocolate
any logs. So if you want to buy pre-innoculated logs, there probably won't
be anymore for a year. :( For those who live in Florida they teach usually
teach a workshop in November or December on how to innoculate logs.
However, if you are willing to learn to innoculate logs yourself, there's
another source. The book that is usually recommended is Growing Shiitake in
a Continental Climate by Kozak and Krawczyk. It was written by the people
at Field and Forest Products who also sell top quality spawn. The strain
"west wind" is the one that Jody recommends. If you want to get in contact
with Field and Forest products, their number is 1-800-792-6220. Joe is the
guy to talk to, and feel free to tell Jody referred you.
Hope this helps those interested,
Jehanne
