Shiitake Mushroom Kit
Shiitake mushrooms are one of the tastiest mushrooms grown. It has a wonderful earthy flavor, which is why it is desired as a good edible. Our mushrooms are grown on a compressed sawdust block, which allows us to make the blocks uniform in size and easy to handle. They tend to fruit best during the cooler time of the growing season. They do well at temperatures between 55 to 70 degrees F. The best fruiting temperature range is usually between 60 to 62 degrees F. Mushrooms vary in size from large to small during the fruiting cycle. The largest mushrooms are usually grown during the first or second crop. Smaller mushrooms grow later as the mushroom block loose nutrients. The block can grow up to 3 crops of mushrooms, but usually 1-2 crops are normal. Our kits are ready to grow upon arrival and should be started in a timely fashion, within 2 weeks of arrival. If they are not started right away they may attempt to fruit inside of the box, before it is opened. To prevent this refrigerating them below 45 degrees this will usually slow them from fruiting, but do not freeze the block. All mushroom kits can to some degree attract small fungus gnats this is normal. Shipping charges are calculated at time of check out. Our mushroom kit is intended to allow the average individual the
experience of growing there own mushrooms at home, and is not intended
to be a lower cost alternative to store purchased mushrooms. View the 2 videos at the bottom of our home page.
