Shiitake Mushroom Log Kit

If you’re shiitake-wacky like we are, you can never get enough of their meaty texture and earthy, smoky flavor. Grow your own to have on hand for all your favorite dishes with Howard Berk and Todd Pittard’s mushroom log kit.

• Howard and Todd salvage recently felled trees and plant organic spores inside. Soak the wood, keep it in a damp, cool, dark place, and in about six weeks you’ll be in shiitake heaven.
• Re-soak and harvest every six weeks or so for up to three years.
• Fungi fact: Each log naturally has different nutrient contents and can fruit at different rates. Initial fruiting can be as quick as six months, while some can take over a year.
• Handmade in Georgia.
