    Field & Forest Products provides services for cultivating mushrooms through log inoculation. They cut logs from various hardwood trees in the winter and drill holes filled with sawdust spawn. The logs are sealed and stacked in shade where they are periodically watered until mushrooms begin growing. Mushrooms are harvested and sold either fresh for $500/lb or dried for $12/lb. Marketing options include restaurants, natural foods stores, and farmers' markets.
