Anyone here, near the Seattle Tacoma area, with access to some 3 to 7" diameter freshly cut or harvestable hardwood logs?Oak, chestnut, maple, red alder, beech or similar hardwoods are best.

I'm looking to get 10 to 50 ~3' long logs to get some self use Shiitake and also Oyster Mushroom production underway. This is the season to do it, before the hardwoods leaf out again!

Shiitake and Oyster mushroom are easy to grow in a shady spot (after a 1-3 startup period) and can produce heavily. If you get a bumper crop shiitake is also easy to dry or sell at a farmer's market.

For others that are curious in how to grow food from underused trees or tree trimmings I can post a "how to grow" link for Shiitake, a favorite hobby mushroom. Production can be seasonal or continuous rotation by water soaking mushroom colonized logs. Some people in the USA have been doing this for over 40 yr now and much longer in Japan.
