Why people cook tiger sawgill

Organic hardwood, checked in Carthage. X-cut, spray, harvest.
How to use it
Cook fully in a pan. Not a tea mushroom.
As food
A firm, spotted skillet mushroom. Protein, fiber, and a weekly pan habit — same food family as oysters. Sauté or roast. Cook it through. Not a tea mushroom.

What you are actually growing
The spots are the name. The method is the oyster method. Warm room, X-cut, mist.
If you can grow Trail of Tears, you can grow this.
How to fruit this block
Unbox the same day
Room out of hot sun. Read the name on the bag.
Cut an X on the side
2–3 inch X. Leave the rest of the bag on.
Mist the cut
Tap water, twice a day, damp not dripping.
Harvest the cluster
Twist at the base when caps flatten but rims still curve in. Cook fully.
Harvest
Caps still slightly convex, spots still clear. Cook the same day if you can.
After the last flush
Rest 7–10 days, soak 2–4 hours, fruit again.
In the kitchen
Hot pan, oil, salt. They hold their shape.
