Growing Shiitake Mushrooms is Easier Than You Think. Written by Mindy on January 17th, 2013 Did you know that shiitakes are easy to grow in the home garden? Well they are and they only require a few items beyond the spawn (seeds). But before you jump into the fungus business, there are a few things you will need to know. Shiitakes will produce 6 to 18 months after inoculation and will continue to produce for four to six years.Any hardwood will work.
Once you have your wood source and it is cut, it is time to order your spawn (seed). When your spawn arrives, it will be little dowels that are impregnated with the shiitake spawn. After the 24 hours have lapsed, it is time to process your logs. Next, you will need to brush off the excess sawdust and seal the dowel with a mixture of four parts paraffin to one petroleum jelly. Continue with the above process until all of the spawn is used. Now, move the inoculated logs to an area that is close to a water source and that is covered in 60 to 80 percent shade.
