Shii-take Mushroom Spawn - Shii-take mushroom are delicious sauted, baked, grilled, stir fried, or sliced thin and used raw on salads. Its meaty flavour enhances almost any dish. Use the stems to create deeply flavored stocks. Shii-take are not the easiest mushroom to grow and take a long time to fruit so are not recommended for beginners. Initially started on an industrial scale, the method of growing oyster mushrooms on tree tunks is now only used for hobby purposes and we suggest that you start with our mycelium (spawn) which is specially designed for this. General informationInnoculation is possible all year round but it is best to do it between April and June. You can plant out the inoculated trunks from August to October and mushrooms will grow from autumn to spring for three consecutive years. The mushroom production is equal to about 20% of the weight of the green wood used (1/2 in 1st year, 1/3 in 2nd year and 1/6 in 3rd year). Though the wood of all broad leaved trees may be used, the best results are obtained by using Poplar.How to inoculate your tree trunksUse a clean corner of a cool, dark room such as a cellarSpread a clean piece of cardboard on the ground, wet it and sprinkle it with crumbled spawn (do no trample or dirty the spawn)Arrange a first layer of wooden blocks, crumble a layer of about 1/2cm of spawnPlace other blocks adding more spawn, and so on, until a maximum of 5 layers is reachedOn the last layer sprinkle some more spawn and cover with cardboardCover the heap with well-washed jute sacks or other waste textiles, wet and cover the whole thing with a sheet of polythene without sealing itIf all goes well you will begin to see the spawn developing from the 15th day At the end of incubation (2-3 months) the blocks of wood will be covered with a whitish, pleasant smelling coat which often spreads into the jute sacks.REMEMBER the incubating temperature must remain between 20-28°C (if it rises, remove the polythene sheet and wet well).
