Hypsizygus tessellatus, bunapi-Shimeji, beech mushrooms
Shimejis are commonly eaten in Asia, less frequently in Europe. We are starting to find them fresh on certain shelves. Shimejis should not be eaten raw (like many mushrooms). They can simply be fried. They maintain a good crunchy texture with a slight anise flavor.
Conservation of mycelium: 1 month in the fridge

Cultivation Conditions
They are generally grown indoors on substrates based on sawdust enriched with wheat bran or others. They need fairly high humidity (85-90%), but the hats should not get wet otherwise they risk deforming. They appreciate rather cool temperatures: 13 to 18°
Substrates
Pasteurized sawdust. Indoor culture.
We recommend our ready-to-use substrate , particularly suitable for wood-eating varieties, including this variety of shiitake.
