This Shiitake spawn pack contains high quality, fresh living mushroom grain spawn ready for inoculation at home.
Using our spawn, it is extremely easy to grow mushrooms all the way to fruit or use it to start your own mother culture.
Our strains are specifically selected for their high yield, vibrant colours and strong flavours. Boasting an incredibly low generation number, this laboratory-grade grain spawn can’t be matched in terms of quality and reliability.
