What Makes It UncommonIf you’re shiitake-wacky like we are, you can never get enough of their meaty texture and earthy, smoky flavor. Grow your own to have on hand for all your favorite dishes with Howard Berk and Todd Pittard's mushroom log kit.
- Howard and Todd salvage recently felled trees and plant organic spores inside. Soak the wood, keep it in a damp, cool, dark place, and in about six weeks you'll be in shiitake heaven.
- Re-soak and harvest every six weeks or so for up to three years.
- Fungi fact: Each log naturally has different nutrient contents and can fruit at different rates. Initial fruiting can be as quick as six months, while some can take over a year.
- Handmade in Georgia.

Howard Berk and Todd Pittard’s fungi love started years before they knew each other. It was certainly fated that they’d meet at the local farmer’s market, bond over their mutual passion, and start a shiitake and oyster mushroom company. The twosome salvage healthy, fresh-cut Sweetgum and Oak trees that are on their way to the chipper, and take the logs back to their Chamblee, Georgia shop. Once inoculated with organic mycelium, they’re aged on the farm, to help the fungus develop. Howard and Todd put a lot of love into each log, and the wood gives it back, producing premium, healthy, delicious mushrooms for two or three years. The duo sell them to local restaurants and the lucky public, and now, you can get their inoculated logs and start your own own mushroom garden. They hope you enjoy the fruits of their labor.
