MAGIC MUSHROOMS

Shiitake mushrooms are prized by gourmands everywhere for their unique taste and quality. But those sold in grocery stores just don’t have the same appeal as the ones dug up fresh in the woods. Now an Oklahoma company called Lost Creek Mushroom Farms is offering a way to grow your own … at home. Their Shiitake Mushroom Log comes pre-inoculated with “Shiitake spawn.” Buyers just need to soak the log in ice water for 24 hours to get the mushrooms to pop out within days. Prices vary depending on the size of the log you can order from their Web site. And they want everyone to “Remember ‘Shiitake’ has two I's.” Otherwise it would sound like ... well, you know.
