Labeling mushroom logs
We've used a couple of
different techniques to label mushroom logs over the years. Previously,
we cut squares out of flashing material and scratched a number on each
one. That worked well...except sometimes it was hard to read the
scratched number and sometimes the sharp edges cut into my hands.
Better has been a very
simple system using plastic circles that we accumulate while making EZ Misers. One
circle is WW70, two circles is Snow Cap, and three circles is Native
Harvest. Aside from having to check my key every time I want to know
which variety is currently fruiting, the new technique has been
trouble-free.

About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

Where are you getting your mushroom spawn from? I've never heard of "snow caps".

Me neither! If I ran across that one in the woods I'd be afraid!
