Grow your own gourmet shiitake mushrooms with our fantastic mushroom growing kit. Shiitake mushrooms are often described as having a suitable earthy, woody smoky flavour with a meaty, yet buttery texture. These mushrooms are very versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, adding flavour to vegetarian and vegan dishes in particular. They can also be used as a meat substitute in recipes like burgers or meatloaf.
Our shiitake mushroom kits are ready to use with easy to follow instructions. These kits come complete with a black plastic base tray, clear plastic lid and pre-spawned mushroom substrate. They are ideal for growing on a windowsill in the home or office environment.
Enjoy a supply of tasty shiitake mushrooms, not once but between five to eight times per kit. After the first harvest let the kit rest for at least 15 days somewhere not too hot or dry, a garage or garden shed is suitable. After the rest period, repeat the cultivation cycle for another crop. Once the compost is spent, the substrate acts as a great fertiliser to use in the garden.
Shiitake mushroom growing kits are the perfect gift for friends and loved ones. Ideal Christmas or birthday gifting for gardeners, food lovers, city dwellers and as an educative gift for children. Mushroom kits are easy to grow and a fun way to grow your produce at home in a simple, practical and educational way.
