Discover the pleasure of growing your own gourmet Shiitake mushrooms with our hand crafted grow kits. Whether you’re new to mushroom cultivation or an experienced grower, our kits offer everything you need to succeed.

Varieties: Our kits feature two top-performing Shiitake strains.

Shiitake 3782: Known for its thinner cap and delicate texture, this strain provides a refined mushroom experience.
Shiitake 3790: This strain boasts a denser, thicker cap, offering a robust texture and rich flavor.

Both strains typically yield 2-3 pounds of mushrooms on the first flush, ensuring an abundant harvest.

Optimal Growing Conditions: Ensure the best results by maintaining a growing temperature between 55-70°F (13-21°C) and providing adequate humidity.

Growing Tips and Tricks:

• Moisture Control: Keep the growing environment humid by misting the kit regularly. A humidity tent can help maintain the necessary moisture levels.
• Light Exposure: Shiitake mushrooms thrive in indirect light. Place your kit in a well-lit area, but avoid direct sunlight.
• Air Circulation: Ensure proper air circulation to prevent mold growth and promote healthy mushroom development.
• Harvest Timing: Harvest your mushrooms when the caps have fully opened and are still firm. This typically occurs 1 week after the initial growth appears.
