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.

TRACEABLE FROM OAK TO HARVEST

Meet your oak.

Scan the tag on your log to see where it grew, when it was inoculated, and when it is ready to fruit again.

GOOD TO KNOW

Long life.
Low fuss.

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