Photo Description: Of five nonnative tree species invasive in the southeastern USA, only logs of Triadica sebifera, Chinese tallowtree, successfully produced edible shiitake mushrooms. On farm trials revealed that standard production oak logs (Quercus spp.) produced significantly higher yields of shiitake per log than T. sebifera, but the mean weight per mushroom on T. sebifera was significantly higher than an oak-produced mushrooms.
