What Makes It Uncommon

Oyster mushrooms' sweet, mild flavor and velvety texture make for delicious eating, whether raw or cooked. They're also the easiest and most forgiving variety to grow, especially on Howard Berk and Todd Pittard's Pittard'smushroom growing log.

  • The duo salvaged recently felled aspen and poplar trees, cut them into logs, and planted organic oyster mushroom spores inside.
  • All that's left to do is soak your log and keep it in a damp, cool, dark place.
  • Soon: fresh oyster mushroom heaven. Re-soak and harvest every six weeks or so for up to three years.
  • That's a lot of shrooms for stir-fries, stuffings, salads, and sauces.
  • Put a smile on the face of your favorite mushroom lover, gardener, or mad scientist.
  • Handmade in Georgia.

Fungi fact: Each log 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.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

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.
