Description

Shiitake is one of the easiest and most prolific mushrooms to cultivate on your own. For this reason, they are also one of the most widely grown varieties out there.  If you're a beginning myco-enthusiast then we recommend starting with a strain of shiitake. This 'Wide Range' strain of shiitake is Mushroom Mountain's best and most foolproof strain of shiitake.  Definitely a great option for beginners. 

Flavor
Shiitake have a strong and forward flavor, meaty, unctuous, and savory. Texture is what you'd associate with most mushrooms, silky and firm. Shiitakes are great grilled, cooked on the stove top, pickled, dried, and about every other way you can think of. 

Fruiting Temperatures/Conditions
This strain of Shiitake has a wide fruiting range and will typically produce between 55-75˚F.  If you live in a temperate area that experiences temperature swings from season to season then you can probably grow this strain. 

Wood Types/Media
Shiitake will fruit on a variety of, but not all, hardwood species. Grow on hardwood logs outdoors: oak, pecan, walnut, alder, sweet gum, maple, ironwood, hophorn beam, cherry, sycamore, tulip poplar, eucalyptus, chestnut, ash, birch, bitternut, willow. You should avoid all conifers, fruit trees, elm, hackberry, sassafras, soft maples (red and striped), dogwood, black locust, beech, and hickory. These will not produce for you. 

Package contains 5 lbs of inoculated sawdust spawn.
