Shiitake Liquid Culture

Shiitake liquid culture produces a delicious mushroom that has been wildly popular in Asia for centuries. Their flavor can best be described as a combination of rich and savory mixed with umami. Characterized by medium-to-large brown caps, shiitake mushrooms traditionally grow in nature on fallen logs which is how they got their name—Shiitake is a Japanese word that literally translates to a mushroom (“take”) growing on a “Shii” tree (a type of chinquapin tree that is ideal for growing shiitakes). These nutritious and sturdy mushrooms are easy to grow for all skill levels, especially in warm and moist climates, and are a welcome addition to just about any meal you can imagine. Shiitake mushrooms take longer to grow than most mushrooms but the fruits decay slower, so you have a long window for cooking and consuming them after they are harvested. It will generally take 2 to 3 months for Shitake to fully colonize a bag of substrate. After the bag is colonized it will slowly turn brown. Once the bag is mostly brown, it’s ready to be introduced to fruiting conditions. After full colonization, Shiitake mushrooms take about 1 week to produce fruit bodies and will produce 3 to 5 flushes. They grow best on hardwood sawdust, and supplemented sawdust mix.

WHY WE GIVE AWAY OUR PROFIT

When we started MYYCO, we decided that making a beneficial impact was more important than profits and that the mushroom world was the wrong place for a profit-first mentality. MYYCO is a Certified Benefit Corporation. 100% of profits from every liquid culture we sell are donated to 501(c)(3) organizations performing groundbreaking studies on the beneficial powers of certain mushroom species. This means that we pay our expenses, keep a small cash stipend on hand for future expenses, and then donate the rest! Our current beneficiaries are MAPS, John Hopkins, and Heroic Hearts. Visit our Donation section to learn more and view our donation records.
