Planting Shiitake Mushrooms (1x28)

Air date: Jun 13, 2023

The chefs of Otowasan Kannonji Temple teach us how to plant shiitake mushrooms. They drill holes in a sawtooth oak log, then insert plugs containing shiitake spores. It's an arduous task, and the mushrooms won't be ready for two years at least, but the delicious flavor makes it all worth it!
