Shiitake Mushroom Plugs

Lentinula edodes A very tolerant and vigorous strain of the prized shiitake mushroom, known for its medicinal and culinary uses. Delicious, meaty flavor makes an excellent meat substitute when cooking. Be patient with this variety - the Shiitake logs may take up to a year for initial fruiting to begin. Follow instructions carefully to ensure success. These seemingly innocent small pieces of wood are carrying a secret. They have been inoculated with pure mushroom mycelium and when inserted into a log or stump can provide a delicious surprise. Consider these plugs the seed of mushroom and turn your yard into a forager’s delight. For plug health, keep refrigerated until ready to use.  (5 Oz Package, contains 100 plugs)
