What Makes Shiitake Mushrooms Special?
Shiitake mushrooms are known for their rich, earthy flavor with a hint of smokiness. Their meaty texture makes them a favorite in various dishes, from stir-fries to soups. Not only are they delicious, but they are also high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
How Does It Work?
Our logs are crafted from recently salvaged felled trees in Georgia, making each log a unique and sustainable growing medium. Organic shiitake spores are planted inside the logs, which are then shipped directly to your door.
- Soak the Log: Start by soaking the log in water.
- Find the Perfect Spot: Keep it in a damp, cool, dark place, such as a basement or shaded outdoor area.
- Harvest Regularly: Re-soak the log and harvest fresh shiitake mushrooms approximately every six weeks. This process can continue for up to three years!
The Growing Journey
Each log has different nutrient contents, so the fruiting rate may vary. Some logs may produce mushrooms as soon as six months, while others could take over a year. Patience is rewarded with a continuous supply of delicious mushrooms.
