Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) Inoculated on Oak
Shiitake is a classic and beloved mushroom that grows as brown, umbrella-shaped caps on oak logs. It has a rich, smoky, and umami flavor and a chewy, meaty texture that makes it a staple in Asian cuisine. Shiitake is wonderful for making soups, noodles, stir-fries, and dumplings and also has medicinal properties that can boost immunity, lower blood sugar, fight cancers, and lower cholesterol.
To grow your own shiitake, place the oak log in a shady, moist, and cool spot, and enjoy the harvest from spring to fall. Our logs should produce multiple fruiting events each year for several years!
Shiitake mushrooms thrive in temperatures between 55°F and 75°F (12°C to 24°C) during fruiting.
