For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tom Stevens. Some of you are familiar with my work over the last 30 years, with my attempts to recapture the Old West through my Hondo "Saddles under the Stars Line", a business that has concentrated on bringing back a range of affordable, quality made western saddles to all of those who appreciate such creations. However, since the advent of bringing my business to the Internet, I have come across a small, but unique group of very discerning individuals, scattered around the World, who are seeking out just a little more than plain common sense quality, craftsmanship and value for money when it comes to their saddles.

grow
shiitake mushrooms
The final decision
on whether or not to grow shiitake mushrooms commercially rests on economics.
As stated earlier, detailed information on production costs and income
is still being developed. Based on experiences in other areas of the United
States and overseas, a cord of approximately 125 logs will yield about
500 pounds of mushrooms, or 4 pounds per log. At a selling price of $4
per pound, mushrooms from one cord of wood should generate $2,000.
Initial costs for
obtaining one cord of logs, by either cutting or buying them, is approximately
$100. The spawn for inoculation costs approximately $100. Production costs
for labor, supplies, marketing, and amortized costs of refrigeration and
irrigation amount to an additional $800 to $1,300. Returns to the grower
for his or her labor, capital, and management should be approximately $500
to $1,000 per cord of logs.
Growing shiitake
mushrooms can be profitable at today's market prices. Profit margins, however,
will probably decrease as national production increases and supply approaches
demand. The small-scale producer will face competition from large-scale
producers as well as from companies that grow shiitake mushrooms on sawdust.
The successful grower will be one who produces a quality product at minimum
cost while developing and maintaining an effective marketing strategy.
You provide
a proper environment, usually cool and moist. Getting mushrooms to form
can be easy or hard, depending on the mushroom strain you are growing.
Oyster-style mushrooms of the Pleurotus and Hypsizygus families are among
the easiest to fruit. Lions Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is also quite easy.
Maitake (Grifola frondosa) and Morels (Morachella species) are among the
most difficult to get to form mushrooms. Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) falls
somewhere in the middle. Button mushrooms are easy if you can keep the
temperature steady around 65 degrees F. To: Mushroom Website Click
