This guy comes and slaps your shitake right in front of you, what do you do?

Years of experience cooking shiitake in restaurants here. Cooking them fresh is fine, but you are missing out on a lot of their character. If you dry shii's first, they deepen in flavor. When you get ready to cook with them, put them in water and check them every 5 minutes to make sure they arent getting waterlogged and cook as usual. Make sure to keep and use the soaking liquid as it will be great stock.
Alternatively you can toast them in a pan with a little oil, take them out and do the rest of your recipe, add them at the end when you deglaze to soak up the cooking liquid and marry flavors.

This is the first video I've seen on shiitakes that didn't involve logs and waiting 2 years. I have blue and gold oysters colonizing in a laundry basket now, plus a bucket of blue oysters colonizing in cardboard. I need to do this!

I don’t know why this handsome mushroom man is in my recommended but I’m cool with it.

1 minute in... hmmm all of a sudden i wanna be a shiitake mushroom bag now

[katferia]

But first we're going to give it a good smack, not too hard, but a good smack. 🤔

Kudos! ❤️ This is the most complete process I've ever seen. All others trying to lecture this stuff skipped and jumped already to inoculation without demonstrating how to make a culture in making a spawn. So viewers who have zero idea are wondering where the cultured liquid and mycelium originated from.

I love everything you're doing, bud. I found you at just the right time. I've been experimenting on my own with some success and your info is helping me take it to the next level. I hope to be sharing fresh organic shiitake with the neighborhood soon! Now if I can just get these dang King Oysters and Enokitake to go . . .

[sacredcowbbq]

I'm so grateful that I stumbled on yoru channel! Can't wait to be a mushroom grower! I've got a deep mulch garden, bet I can grow some mushrooms outdoors even. Thank you so much for all the information, Tony. You rock!

Where did you get the bags of this mashroomsto begin with

[thekarmafarmer]

I love the solution to creating a more specialized independent humid environment for the shitake, whilst still flushing the air. I was wondering how I could do this. Thanks for these videos. They are all so helpful. : )

[mochi]

Man, I never would've thought I would be watching a man smack a bag of shiitake mushrooms. (Not too hard though)
