Oak log inoculated with Shiitake mushroom dowels. The wood is actually “Roble Sabana” which translates to “Savannah Oak” but is very different than northern oak. It’s a beautiful tree which produces countless white, pink, and purple flowers in the dry season and has many uses. We use its inner bark to make Pau D’arco which is a delicious medicinal tea. The wood is also very suitable for construction and sustainable forestry. The tree is a local species that’s very hardy, has a near perfect germination rate, and is fast growing. The Shiitake inoculation was Caitlyn’s personal project (Caitlyn is one of RDS’s awesome interns).
