Difficulté : Débutant

Le Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) est un champignon nutritif qui produit des chapeaux bruns, de taille moyenne à grande, en forme d'ombrelle, qui ont tendance à fructifier tout au long de la saison de croissance, de l'été à l'automne. C'est un délicieux champignon comestible d'Asie de l'Est dont la saveur est souvent décrite comme riche, savoureuse, beurrée et umami.

Le Shiitake a tendance à produire des récoltes généreuses et c'est un excellent champignon pour les débutants. Il colonise rapidement et est le producteur le plus fiable de toutes les espèces.

Inoculation

Growing shiitake mushrooms works best with the log method. It will take at least 12 months of colonization before mushroom production, and shiitake tends to fruit throughout the summer to fall growing seasons and after rainfalls. Preferred wood species are oak, maple, or beech. For the full log compatibility chart, click here.

How to grow is more challenging than finding the perfect log, though. Growing mushrooms using the log method requires dedication and patience whether it’s shiitake or any other type. If you use plugs, you must drill two-inch-deep holes on the log. Then, you insert the plug spawn in the holes.

Plug spawn is a piece of hardwood inoculated with spawn. After inoculating the plugs, keep the wood hydrated, and don’t put it in windy areas. More importantly, don’t stack spawn logs like you would firewood. The spawn needs air, space, and sunlight to grow.

Storing

If you don't plan to use within 3 weeks, you may refrigerate the plug spawn for up to 6 months.

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.

• Aside from being kiln dried, our wooden dowels are not treated in any other way.

Frequently Asked Questions

After inoculation, most logs take 6–12 months before producing their first flush of mushrooms. Colonization depends on temperature, moisture, and wood type. Once established, a log can fruit for 3–7 years.

Always use freshly cut, disease-free logs. Old or rotting wood may contain competing fungi or be too dry for successful colonization. Ideally, inoculate within 2–4 weeks of cutting.

Plug spawn (wooden dowels) is easier for beginners and ideal for smaller projects. Sawdust spawn is faster to colonize and more economical for larger batches or commercial growers.

Store logs in a shady, humid area close to the ground. In dry or hot weather, occasional watering or soaking can help maintain moisture. Avoid full sun or windy spots, which can cause bark cracking.
