Our Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) fruiting block features a popular strain that produces light brown, medium-to-large, umbrella-shaped caps. Shiitake mushrooms are a delicious edible fungus from East Asia and their flavor is described as rich, savory, buttery, and umami. This strain tends to produce generous flushes, making them a great mushroom for confident beginners and intermediate growers.

Shiitake are reliable producers as long as the ambient humidity in the growing environment remains consistent. Because the block is removed entirely from the bag once it's ready to fruit, shiitake blocks are prone to drying out. Therefore, we recommend using a humidity tent or humidity-controlled fruiting chamber (like a monotub or martha tent) to help mitigate the moisture issue.

Upon receiving your kit:

Remove kit from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive until you are ready to grow your fruiting block!

Superior Shiitaki Mushrooms

I did the cold shock that was recommended when my Shiitaki block arrived and the next day placed it in the Boomer Bin. These mushrooms grew so fast I was shocked! When it was time to harvest them, I did as recommended. When I cooked with them for the first time, I was amazed! I already expected it would be a delicious mushroom, these exceeded my expectations. I’ve never had a mushroom this good in my life! Superior mycology is what I now expect from North Spore! Amazing stuff!!!

I finally made the jump to order my 1st boomrBin automated system. The Shiitake is fruiting and the Blue Oyster is just getting started. It is so exciting to watch them grow as I learn how to nurture them along. Thanks for your help along tge way Northspore.
