Why Grow Shiitake

- Colonize on grain and hardwood substrate. Grows indoors in a variety of environments (try it on a kitchen countertop!)
- Liquid culture to harvest in 8 to 12 weeks
All Good Mushroom liquid culture syringes are backed by our Quality Guarantee.
First Time Growing Shiitake?
In addition to your Shiitake liquid culture syringe, you’ll also need Starter Grain and Hardwood Substrate for the best results. (How to transfer between grow mediums.)
Or save $13 by purchasing our Shiitake “Good to Grow” Kit, which includes 1 Shiitake culture syringe, 1 Starter Grain Bag, and 1 Substrate Grow Bag.
In all of our mushroom grow kit products, we make a conscious effort to minimize waste and use only compostable and recyclable materials where possible.

Mushroom Strain Origin
A chinese study has linked the Shiitake mushroom back as far as the cretaceous period, and is found growing wild in the mountainous regions of China, Japan, Indonesia, and Taiwan.
Shiitake in the Wild
Shiitake grow in groups on the decaying wood of deciduous trees, particularly shii and other chinquapins, chestnut, oak, maple, beech, sweetgum, poplar, hornbeam, ironwood, and mulberry. Its natural distribution includes warm and moist climates in Southeast Asia.
