Notre mycélium de nameko (Pholiota nameko) certifié biologique par l'USDA est une variété populaire largement cultivée au Japon. Ces champignons sont recouverts d'une couche de gélatine naturelle qui leur donne un aspect unique, presque brillant. Une fois cuits, les nameko ont une saveur terreuse avec de subtiles notes fruitées, et un arôme rappelant les noix de cajou et le caramel au beurre. Comme ils nécessitent des températures plus fraîches et une humidité constante lors de la fructification, ils demandent patience et précision. Ils ne sont pas idéaux pour les débutants, mais peuvent être très gratifiants pour les cultivateurs expérimentés.

Utilisation recommandée :

Le mycélium de nameko peut être utilisé pour la production en intérieur avec un substrat stérilisé à base de sciure de bois.
Ne pas utiliser le mycélium pour l'inoculation de billes de bois.
Il ne s'agit pas d'un kit de culture de champignons. Le mycélium de nameko doit être combiné avec un substrat pour fructifier.

À la réception de votre mycélium :

Retirez-le de la boîte d'expédition dès que possible. Ensuite, dépliez le haut du sac, en laissant de l'espace pour l'air. Il est également important de vérifier et de confirmer que le patch filtrant n'est pas obstrué. Cela aidera l'organisme à respirer et à continuer à se développer !

Temp, Humidity & CO2 guide

Temperature	45-65°F \| 7-18°C
Humidity (Phase 1: Primordia)	98-100%
Humidity (Phase 2: Fruitbody)	88-95%
CO2 Sensitivity (Phase 1: Primordia)	500-1,000 ppm
CO2 Sensitivity (Phase 2: Fruitbody)	<1,000 ppm

Primordia - The earliest recognizable stage of fruitbody development. Also known as “baby mushrooms” or “mushroom pins.”
Fruitbody - A fully grown mushroom, the reproductive structure of the organism in which the spores are produced.
CO2 sensitivity - When CO2 levels are too high, yields will decrease, stems will become long and stringy, caps will be small, and/or growth will halt.

Indoor cultivation

Nameko mushroom grain spawn can be mixed into sterilized hardwood sawdust to create nameko substrate blocks.

Note: Grain spawn must be mixed with bulk substrate before you can fruit it. If you are new to growing mushrooms, we recommend purchasing a book on mushroom cultivation.

Storing

If you don't plan to use immediately, you can refrigerate your spawn for up to 4 months.

Cooking

Nameko is a lesser known culinary mushroom in the Americas, but it is used widely in East Asia. It has a gelatinous cap that can thicken soups and sauces and has an aroma that walks the line of being both fruity and earthy. Nameko mushrooms go well with dark green vegetables, red meats, and shallots, and are used traditionally in Japanese miso soups.

Cautions & considerations

If you’re going to consume home-grown mushrooms, make sure to cook your fresh mushrooms thoroughly with heat. If it is your first time eating this species, it is best to start with a small amount to check for allergies, even if cooked.
