🍄 Discovering Shiitake

Shiitake, known in Asia for more than 7000 years, is often called the “fragrant mushroom”. Rich in vitamins (D and B in particular) and trace elements such as magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium, its benefits are numerous: it is an antioxidant, stimulates the immune system, and is even renowned for its aphrodisiac properties.

🎨 The Shiitake is distinguished by its flat hat, the color of which varies from light brown to dark brown. Its flesh is firm and supple, and depending on the cooking method, it develops woody, earthy flavors with hints of hazelnut. The hats generally measure between 3 and 6 cm.

❄️ Mycelium conservation: 1 month in the refrigerator.

🌱 Growing conditions

The variety #3790 is one of the most productive on the market, while offering fruits of exceptional quality.

🔄 The incubation of the substrates takes place in three stages:

Colonization: 2 to 4 weeks
Pop-Corning: 2 to 3 weeks
Browning: 2 to 3 weeks

In general, it takes around 10 weeks of incubation, this phase being the most delicate of the culture. It is important not to move the bags during this time to avoid stress. Maintain a stable temperature between 20 and 24°C throughout incubation.

💧 Maintaining a relatively low humidity level at the start of fruiting helps limit the number of primordia and promote the development of large fruits.

🛠️ Substrates

In indoor cultivation: enriched and sterilized sawdust. In outdoor cultivation: logs .

We recommend our ready-to-use substrate , particularly suitable for wood-eating varieties, including this variety of Shiitake.
