However, I am going to have a go at growing shiitake mushrooms as they seem much less labour intensive, at least once you get started.
All I have to do is chop down a couple of spare chestnut trees, cut into logs,
Better go get the chainsaw out.

Mushrooming Intentions
Last weekend I went on a Tree Crops association visit to a local property where Lennart Prinz is growing mushrooms. You can buy mushrooms from Lennart at the Hamilton Framers' Market on Sunday mornings. I discovered that many mushrooms take a lot more energy, equipment and knowledge to grow than I have or want.
However, I am going to have a go at growing shiitake mushrooms as they seem much less labour intensive, at least once you get started.
All I have to do is chop down a couple of spare chestnut trees, cut into logs,
drill holes all over the place, stuff spawn in the holes, seal the holes with wax
- and wait.
Better go get the chainsaw out.
