Description
Our shiitake mushroom block is fully inoculated and ready-to-grow when they arrive at your door. If you’ve already ordered a grow kit from us in the past, all you’ll need to grow more mushrooms is one of these blocks. Like all the shiitake mushroom blocks we sell, these are made from just 4 all-natural materials: organic poultry feed, maple sawdust, water, and rye-grain based mycelium.
By providing this option, we hope to reduce unnecessary waste and save you money at the same time. Additionally, free shipping is included with your order. If however, you require the full mushroom grow kit, please click the link here or below.

I received the two shiitake blocks today, Dec. 15th 2016. I have bought and cultivated many shiitake blocks in the past to present. These blocks are truly ready to fruit. They both have a nice brown cure and already have some pinning at the bottom of the bag close the the plastic. Made with maple sawdust these should and will flush a lot of fruit first and second flush. Maple will not last much beyond second or third flush, but contamination usually sets in buy then anyway. I would rate the condition of the two blocks as five star. I haven’t even put them in the fruiting chamber, yet I can tell by the popcorn bumps on the block these will set out many small to medium shiitake first flush with fewer larger fruit on the second. The CS-321 is a good strain for fast and furious fruiting at around 62 to 65 deg. To also add, the packing for shipping, was outstanding! I will post a second review after the fruiting and weigh in.

This is a followup on the fruiting, first fruiting produced 67 shiitake on block one and 73 shiitake on block two. The total weigh in first flush is 3.6 lbs, very impressive.
