Shiitake Mushroom Log Growing Kit

We have put together this Shiitake mushroom log growing kit to ensure that you have everything you need to successfully select, prepare and inoculate hardwood logs in order to begin or expand your urban farm. All you need to add is a mallet, drill and hardwood log.

This kit is designed to inoculate a hardwood log of 50cm in length. However, the parts to the kit can be used multiple times creating fantastic value.

Shiitake mushrooms are prized for their high quality and velvety caps. They are dark brown with a velvety texture and earthy flavour. Caps range in size from 5-10cm.

We want to ensure you have experience of the entire farming process, which is why our kits aren’t simple ’open and spray’ sets. Instead, as well as skeleton instructions included in the kit, we have created an in-depth growth guide available to download which will take you through each step of the growing process to educate and inspire our customers to get more involved in sustainable food production. We believe anyone can be an expert urban farmer with a little help from our kits.
