Product Details

This is a (1) 12 in. Shiitake Log that will give you Shiitake Mushrooms for the new 2 plus years. Enjoy the distinctive flavor and texture of fresh-picked shiitake mushrooms. Each hand-cut hardwood log is inoculated with spores that will sprout organic shiitake mushrooms. This mushroom-growing kit lets you grow delicious and healthful shiitake mushrooms at home. The hand-cut hardwood log arrives pre-inoculated. Logs can be stood upright or laid horizontally for growing. Metal plaque on underside of log states date of inoculation. Just soak the log for 24 hours in cold water, mist it occasionally, and watch your crop emerge once the inoculation period is reached. 12 in. long, approx. 3 in. to 6 in. Dia 4 lb. to 7 lb. This strain features a fast spawn run, large, thick, first flush mushrooms with heavy yields. Choose a nice shady spot in your yard for your Mushroom log. When the spawn run is complete, the mycelium takes 6 to 12 Months from the inoculation date to start fruiting. When you can see fine white fibers (hyphae) running through the ends of the log they are ready for fruiting. Some logs take longer than others but we are here to help you grow the most amazing Shiitake mushrooms you have ever tasted. Just ask if you have any questions. First Mushrooms will develop 6 to 12 Months from the date of inoculation. We age the logs for a few months before they ship.

Q:If I buy the log now and keep it dry, will it preserve till Christmas? I want this to be a present so would have to hold on to it for a least several weeks before the person receiving the gift can actually soak it in water.

Q:Do I continue soaking routine during winter months in Chicago?

Answer This Question

A: From what I understand you only soak it once for 24hrs. After that, keep it covered (I’m using a big transparent tube with vent holes) and spray water above the log once a day. I’ve heard they need a light cycle too, but not direct light.

It's really hard to review this as it has yet to bloom. It takes months for the mushrooms to grow!
