Shiitakes anyone?

The cooler weather and rain we finally had, has made the Shiitake mushrooms pop out of logs like never before in our garden! Such a beautiful sight to see! Adam and I have been watering them yesterday and today, and I will be picking some tomorrow. 
This is the second year for these logs, and the first time they have bloomed so well!

Shiitake overload!
Jennie - I have not watered them at all, until they all popped out and I saw that we had no more rain in the forecast... That last rain and the cooler temps brought on the bloom. the past 3-4 days we have been watering them once or twice a day for about 15 minutes total...
