FROM TREE TO FIRST FRUIT

Colonizing
now.

The mycelium now needs time to move through the wood. Our best estimate is a first natural fruiting in Fall 2027; weather, log diameter, and care can shift that window.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD GUIDE

Wild at heart.
Easy at home.

Yield varies with weather and care. Expect several flushes through the growing season rather than one constant crop.
