Description
Homegrown shiitake have a deeper, smokier flavour than anything from the shops. This kit features a mature, brown-skinned hardwood sawdust block that is ready to fruit. A cold-water soak is all it takes to trigger a crop of plump, thick-fleshed caps.
What’s in the box
- 1 x mature shiitake fruiting block (approx. 1.5 kg)
- Fruiting bag and tray
- Printed step-by-step guide
How to grow
Remove the bag, soak the block in cold water for 3-4 hours, then stand it in a cool, humid spot at 12-22C, misting daily. Caps form in 5-8 days.
Expected yield
Approx. 300-450 g per flush. Rest the block for 2-3 weeks, soak again, and expect 3-4 flushes over several months. Cook thoroughly before eating.
