Item Description

From Fungi Farm in Oregon, this all-natural hardwood log injected with Shiitake spawn produce mushrooms every two months for years. Grow indoors with plants or outside in shade. To produce mushrooms, or "fruit" the log, soak it in non-chlorinated ice water for 24 hours. Harvest in 6-10 days. Shiitakes are high in protein, low in fat and have a meaty texture. They have a deep, rich flavor and absorb the flavors of spices, herbs and foods they're cooked with. Chefs prefer shiitakes grown on logs for the superior flavor, texture, and color.  You are bidding on a large Shiitake mushroom log

Large Shiitake Mushroom logs will produce for up to 5 years. These mushrooms are an excellent source of the essential amino acids, will lower your cholesterol. The August Prevention magazine states that a specific compound in shiitakes prevents the bacteria that causes tooth decay from sticking to your teeth. The flavor of log grown shiitakes is beyond compare and once you have eaten a log grown shiitake you will never be able to eat store bought again.  

Fungi Farm prides itself in raising organic log grown shiitake mushrooms and shiitake mushroom logs since 2005. Our mushrooms are harvested daily and are of the highest quality. Taste and meaty texture are far superior to sawdust raised shiitake's. As a matter of fact we guarantee that once you have eaten one of our log raised shiitakes you will never ever eat sawdust raised shiitakes again. Most grocery stores only sell sawdust raised shiitakes. Take the challenge you will be able to see and taste the difference. Log raised shiitakes are higher in nutrients and will last up to 21 days after harvest.
