We have a shady location under hardwoods in a hollow with more than adequate humidity from a springhead & running creek. The hollow is protected and doesn't have undergrowth that would have to be cleared out (still not used to these mountain woods..so unlike the choking undergrowth on the coast of NC).Question is I keep reading about shitake production. Are there other types conducive to growing in this environment?? I saw the earlier posts, haven't had time to read more in depth, did visit the website mentioned. Are there other mushroom producers here in VA?? I ran into one shitake grower at a health food store in Floyd today (and just in time...found my first market for everything & anything we can produce ; ))Liz Pi keJoe RotenberryHillsville VA
