According to the National Gardening Association, Shiitake Mushrooms have thick, meaty-texture and are considered the “king of mushrooms.” These three- to four-inch-diameter brown mushrooms with white flecks are highly esteemed both fresh and dried for cooking and for their medicinal properties. Researchers have found that they reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, stimulate the immune system, and have anti-tumor properties; they are also being used in AIDS research.

Kits fruit easily indoors over a wide temperature range (55ºF to 75ºF), producing two to three pounds of fruits total over two to three months at two-week intervals. They store for up to 14 days. If you really get into shiitake mushrooms you can inoculate logs and grow them in a basement. Although more involved, this method offers a more continuous supply of these tasty treats.

I’ve purchased a similar mushroom log in the past. This one is much larger, producing a bounty of mushrooms very quickly. One recommendation: After the first step of submerging the log in water for about 10 hours, you may want to put it in the basement for a few days. There is a ripe, musty odor in the first few days. The mushrooms grew much faster than the instructions predicted. No odors after the first few days. For me, it was a good way to “garden” during a cold New England winter.

Shitake Mushrooms Info

A great buy when you consider the price of shiitakes in the stores. I used to buy large bags of shiitakes at Costco’, but they do not carry them anymore. Once these mushrooms are rehydrated, they are great in soups, casseroles, sauces, etc. They keep a long time–I keep them in a large airtight jar in the pantry. Great to have on hand when fresh is not available or you don’t want to make a trip to the store.

Mushroom Growing Log

I have been absolutely ecstatic since my mushrooms started growing, which was immediately! All I did was soak it in water and set it up and I’ve watched them grow for a week. The brochure that came with it said that the log might not fruit (produce mushrooms) just after shipping, but mine did and I have more than a dozen huge mushrooms to show for it!

I just sauted them and they were amazingly delicious, and I’m happy to know about all their salubrious properties as well. Everyone who comes over to my house sees my log and comments on what an interesting project it is. I wish I could take more credit for growing them but really the log does it effortlessly once it’s been soaked in cold water for 24 hours.

Really, this is one of the best products I’ve ever gotten. I’m getting a second one so that I can have mushrooms growing each month (one log has to rest for two months after producing mushrooms). It’s just awesome. I love it.
