How to cultivate Hen of the Woods

Hen of the Woods should be inoculated in oak logs. After the one-year incubation period, where you stack logs in a normal fire-wood style stack, you should bury your log under 1-2 inches of soil. Bury them someplace shady where they will have access to water or rainfall. Make sure to mark the spot where your log is buried and keep an eye for Hen of the Woods mushrooms sprouting from the soil throughout the year (it usually fruits during the fall).
