Was the tree exposed to full sun before you purchased it? If not, I think the light might have been too much on the leaves. Hopefully a few of the senior forum members can give you more info.

I'll probably try a few more varieties in the spring. Not sure what kind just yet... here is a link with good prices. You'll also need a block of cheese wax to seal the log. Good luck, and have fun. The hardest part is waiting for them to start producing.

Last year I inoculated a few logs with shiitake dowels, and this past spring I was able to harvest some. All in all it's an easy process to set up, and the logs are low maintenance. During dry spells in the summer just wet the logs so they dont dry out. Also, shop around for dowels... I think I got 100 for around $12. I forget what site they were from, but I know they specialized in mushrooms.

That's a nice offer. If you have enough packages to spread around, I'd be interested in one.

I've been using these:

It's $14 for 20 pots. I'd recommend them.

Why are all of the "shady" ebay sellers located so close to me? It would be nice to have more reputable sources close by. The only one I trust is Bass whom I've purchased plants from directly in person. He's located about 35 minutes away from me, and buying from him is a pleasure. As for any of the other sellers from Bethlehem, I'm pretty skeptical. Now I see we have someone in question from Easton? I need to pack up my trees and run.
