Benefits of Shiitake Mushrooms

Shiitake isn't just a culinary treasure - it's a superfood celebrated for its health properties. Rich in beta-glucans like lentinan, these mushrooms boost immune function and provide antioxidant benefits. Their fiber content and bioactive compounds also help regulate cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health.

Growing your own Shiitake with the Boscum Grow Bag guarantees fresh, chemical-free mushrooms ideal for Asian cuisine, soups, stir-fries, or as a meat substitute in vegetarian dishes.

How to Grow Your Shiitake Mushrooms

Home cultivation has never been easier with this intuitive kit. Follow these steps:

• Preparation: Carefully open the bag and place the substrate on a tray in a cool area (12-20°C), avoiding direct sunlight and drafts.
• Humidity: Mist the substrate and bag interior 2-3 times daily. Maintain 80-95% humidity without waterlogging.
• Growth: Primordia (tiny pins) will appear in 7-15 days. Continue misting until caps fully expand.
• Harvest: Cut mushrooms at the base when caps are open but before spore release.
• Second flush: After resting, soak the substrate in cold water for 3-4 hours to stimulate another harvest.

For optimal results, cover the substrate with a perforated plastic bag to create a mini-greenhouse. Once spent, the substrate makes excellent organic fertilizer, completing the sustainability cycle.

Pro tips: Refrigerate unopened bags (2-4°C) for up to 5 days. Avoid sunlight to prevent drying. Store harvested mushrooms refrigerated for one week or dry for long-term preservation.
