Shiitake Fruiting Log
Ever wanted the satisfaction of growing and harvesting your own mushrooms right at home? Our grow logs are the perfect solution - simply keep them moist and happy, you'll be rewarded with the joys of seeing mushrooms grow before your very eyes and get to enjoy the freshest mushrooms, naturally!
Once you receive your grow log, put it on a tray that's lined with paper towels then place it in an area that's shaded and cool.
Immediately mist the entire log thoroughly with fresh, clean water. Mushrooms love a humid environment so mist at least 4 times a day, keeping the logs moist at all times for better growth.
Once the mushroom caps reach the size you desire (usually after 4 or 5 days from the time you received the log), simply snip at the base of their stems with a clean pair of scissors.
For some late-fruiting smaller mushrooms, we recommend leaving them on the log for another day or two, continuing with the misting until they are ready for harvesting.
