L. edodoes, Shiitake

Frequently asked questions

How do I use Shiitake pellets or grain spawn for cultivation?
Pellet mycelium is inserted into holes drilled in logs and secured with a hammer. Alternatively, grain spawn is ideal for inoculating sterilized substrates or grow bags. Both methods allow for effective colonization to obtain fresh mushrooms at home or professionally.
How long does it take for Shiitake logs to produce mushrooms?
Oak producing logs typically have a lifespan of 2 to 3 years. Depending on the product, some kits are already incubated and ready to produce in a few days, while manual inoculations require a longer incubation period before the first harvest.
What is the Shiitake mycelium syringe used for?
The syringe contains 10 ml of mycelium in liquid suspension, designed for professional inoculation of grains or sterile substrates. It is a high-precision tool that ensures high-quality cultivation and vigorous growth of the Lentinula edodes fungus.
