Shiitake is one of the most popular cultivated mushrooms in the world. Native to Japan, Korea, and China. Delicious and versatile, a very rewarding mushroom to cultivate.
Shiitake fruits on hardwood logs or supplemented hardwood sawdust.
Night Velvet behaves like a Warm/Wide Range strain. It has a fast spawn run time and responds well to force fruiting
Growing Shiitake outside on logs is a low-maintenance and rewarding method for the patient cultivator. Solid logs may take 12 months to fruit after inoculation with plug spawn, but will then produce mushrooms seasonally for up to 5 years!
This strain fruits from 21-27˚c. A Warm Weather strain, Night Velvet will fruit during late Spring through Summer in temperate climates. It can be staggered with a Cold Weather strain such as (1014) which will produce in Autumn.
