Shiitake has been cultivated in Asia for centuries and has gained popularity in recent years here as well. Shiitake, or Lentinula edodes as it’s known in Latin, is a delicious mushroom enjoyed worldwide.
The growing block comes ready for fruiting, often with small fruiting bodies already formed. Simply remove the plastic covering completely and spray the block several times a day as you watch the mushrooms grow. We highly recommend creating a fruiting chamber specifically for shiitake. It’s simple, inexpensive, and you can use the chamber for several years. Here’s a guide on how to build one.
For optimal conditions, we recommend keeping the growing block in a humid environment with good airflow. For example, a larger plastic box with a few holes drilled in the sides and a matching lid. You can learn more about creating the perfect fruiting conditions by checking out our guide on how to build microclimates in growing boxes at home.
Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before handling the growing block.
Orders placed before 11.00 a.m. are usually shipped the same day. We deliver with DHL and deliveries usually take 2-3 working days. Fungal mycelium is resistant but cannot withstand high temperatures. If the climate exceeds 25, we wait for cooler temperatures before sending the packages in order for your products to arrive to you in the best possible condition.
