shiitake mushroom grow kit

grow your own delicious shiitake mushrooms at home with our spray-and-grow kit, complete with a ready-colonised, commercial-sized fruiting block, grow box, spray bottle and full instructions to guide you through the simple growing process.

the shiitake mushroom is our absolute favourite for it's beautifully rich and umami, unique taste - a champion flavour for pastas, sauces and risottos. they have a silky texture and rich colour and aroma. 

you'll have your first beautiful big crop of delicious mushrooms within about 2 weeks of starting your kit.

all of the slow, sterile inoculation and incubation process has been done by us, so all that remains is to unwrap it, and to keep it moist by misting with water twice a day and placing the compostable humidity bag over the top.

  
these grow kits make the perfect gifts for curious minds and food-loving friends & family, and each one is covered by our 'grow guarantee' that you will be able to grow at least one crop. 

they can yield fantastic crops with minimal care, each one will probably have fewer mushrooms than the last as the energy in the 2.7kg block is used up. you can expect up to a 900g of mushrooms over the course of a couple of months! shiitakes can keep for over a week in the fridge if kept covered and picked at the right time.
