Description

Step into the world of gourmet food with this extraordinary shiitake mushroom grow kit. Compact, simple and endlessly rewarding, it makes producing your own harvests indoors both fun and surprisingly easy. All packed into a 3 litre tray, this kit brings a taste of luxury to your kitchen without the high price tag of supermarket packs.

Shiitake mushrooms are celebrated for their rich, earthy flavour and satisfyingly meaty bite. They're a staple in stir fries, noodles, pasta and soups, adding depth and character to even the simplest dishes. When harvested fresh from your own windowsill, the taste is unmatched... Intense, savoury, and guaranteed to impress.

Inside the kit you'll find pre-inoculated growing medium, cover compost, a sturdy base tray and lid, plus easy-to-follow instructions. In just a few weeks you'll see mushrooms forming, and each tray delivers at least three pickings.

Children love the novelty of watching mushrooms appear, cooks enjoy experimenting with fresh ingredients and gardeners appreciate the fun of cultivating a different kind of crop.

How to use:

Store the bag of cover compost in a cool place until needed.
Place the tray with lid at 20-25C for 4 or more days until the substrate turns white.
Soak the cover compost bag, then spread compost over the substrate.
Leave for 5-8 days until white with mycelium, then move to a cooler 15-18C spot.
Keep compost moist and harvest mushrooms as they develop.
