Well, it's a basketball sized chunk of sawdust colonized with mycelium - in this case a strain of shiitake. Bears a striking resemblance to a giant marshmallow suffering radiation burns. This baby should start producing within two weeks. I'll provide updates. So, it's gotta chill in the fridge for a few days, then get soaked in water for a day, then start producing.
I feel like there's a science experiement in my fridge. This summer's project is to go balls out and inoculate a few logs with plug spawn. It's a longer process, 9-12 months before the logs are fully colonized, but then they'll produce mushrooms for years to come. The result should look something like the pic below.
