Day of farm chores with Ms. Stoney Ridge! Is she ready for farm life?

What happens here

The farmers drive the Kubota to a wooded area, passing by 'Stoney Ridge Falls' (a small stream) where their shiitake mushroom logs are kept. They harvest fresh shiitake mushrooms directly from the logs. The male farmer explains that the large black Rubbermaid water tank, previously transported, will be used to 'fire off' the logs. This process involves soaking the logs in water overnight to induce blooming, ensuring a continuous supply of mushrooms.

Goal: The farmers cultivate shiitake mushrooms from logs located near a stream, demonstrating how to harvest them and prepare logs for future blooming.
