Shiitake mushrooms are prized for their high quality and velvety caps. They are dark brown, with an earthy flavour, velvety texture and versatile abilities in the kitchen. The most effective and natural way to grow these mushrooms is on hardwood logs using mushroom dowels. With your spawn voucher, you can claim your fifty shiitake dowels, which will then be delivered fresh to your front door. It can take up to a year to see your first harvest flourish. However, this low-intensity method of growing can see you harvesting shiitake mushrooms for up to eight years. This makes the shiitake kit a gift that offers years of money saving from supermarket plastic wrapped mushrooms, as well as the chance to understand sustainable food production in a way where you can make a difference. We believe anyone can be an expert urban farmer with a little help from our kits. Traditionally, logs would be inoculated by placing them adjacent to more logs already growing shitake mushrooms, and the spores would naturally infiltrate the new logs. Both the development of the mushroom industry and our knowledge about growing food sources in ways that mimic effective natural processes allow you to get a head start on growing by implanting the mycelium directly into the logs.

Our Shiitake Mushroom Log Growing Kit includes:

• 8mm Drill Bit: Ideal for preparing your log for inoculation.
• Sealing Wax: Protects your inoculated log from competing organisms.
• Wax Brush: Ensures a smooth and effective application of the sealing wax.
• Voucher for Pre-Inoculated Mushroom Plugs/Dowels (50pcs): Claim it when you're ready to start growing for the freshest, most potent spawn.
• Step-by-step Instructions: Comprehensive guide to lead you to a successful harvest.
• Access to Online Learning Resources: Equip yourself with additional education and support for your mushroom cultivation journey.
• Please note: You will need to source your own hardwood log for this kit.

Within the kit is a spawn voucher. This system is unlike any other mushroom kit on the market and guarantees freshness, quality, and high yield. When the recipient is ready, they simply scan the QR code (found within the main kit box) and we will send out the fresh living spawn free of charge.
