Simply place your log in a well shaded part of the garden and keep it damp to enjoy fresh shiitake mushrooms for years to come. Our logs are sustainably sourced from our own woodlands before being permeated with mycelium propagated from mushrooms specially selected for their superior taste, texture and high yield. • Substantial, heavely permeated logs (average 40cm) that can produce mushrooms for over 5 years. • Valuable crop saving you money every year. • First mushrooms appear around 12 months after being plugged (depending on care and other factors). • An excellent source of selenium, iron, protein, dietary fibre, and vitamin C. • Many studies suggest that Shiitake lowers cholesterol, blood pressure, protects from cancer, strengthens immune system and reduces thrombosis amongst many other health benefits.
