Shiitake Mushrooms

I harvested the first flush of mushrooms from every block of sawdust we have. In this first flush there were about two or three huge mushrooms and they were the most incredible and meaty mushrooms I've ever had. They dried really easily and they were a wonderful addition to our stews.

I've kept on watering the blocks but they're not producing anymore. I think I over watered them a little bit and one of them as some mold on it; it's kinda hard to know how much water is enough and how much is too much. But I'm going to try to let the blocks dry completely, wait for a couple of weeks, and then start watering them again. According to the instructions it should make more mushrooms grow.
