Shiitake mushrooms are my FAVORITE. The flavor is so rich and complex, but they’re often extremely expensive at the grocery store. So I figured I’d grow some of my own and cook them up for you guys!
Keep in mind this is a partial grow guide…to grow from “scratch” you’d need to create your own substrate and inoculate it with spores, let the spores develop shiitake mycelium, and THEN you’d get to this step in the process. But for the first shiitake video, I kept it simple and practical and went with a hardwood sawdust kit from Fungi Perfecti.
SHIITAKE MUSHROOM RECIPE
70% olive oil
15% sesame oil
10% tamari or soy
5% white wine
pinch of black pepper
1-2 cloves of crushed garlic
Cut stems off, marinate in mixture, and bake uncovered at 350° for 30-40 minutes. Enjoy!

I did none of this lol I just soak it in water 2x a day with tap water. I also spray it
Got mine from “Root” had huge mushrooms in a week. 3 flush’s. Under $30 Awesome.
GOD gives us new adventures!! Growing Shitake mushrooms is my next adventure!! TY for the info!!
Hi. I have Shitake mushroom mycelium, but I don't know how to create a shiitake mushroom patch like in the video. What does the base (that white block) consist of except the inoculated mycelium?
Visit tokha shitake mushroom facebook page for how to grow mushroom
Is that ripple on the fridge?
See earth angel mushrooms for what a shiitake cake should look like.
I thought you had to wait until the block went brown before fruiting?
Wow great job
PSA: Cities are using more chloramine (or monochloramine) to disinfect water, and it CAN NOT BE BOILED OFF or off-gassed
I REPEAT CAN NOT BE BOILED OFF
It must either be chemically removed or not be used at all
So if you are going to soak your mycelium, use bottled water that has been boiled
I want to know how to make mushroom pots.wich wich ingradiance . Putting the mixture.please explane me.thanks
Do the shiitake mushrooms you cut off (where some is left behind) grow back? As in does this "block" continuously grow mushrooms or is it only for a period of time and then you toss the block?
plastic is not good for health。better not to use it to grow vegetable and make compose。better to use food safe glass to make compose and use clay pot to grow vegetable。any plastic will leak some chemicals into the soil when it under the sun or put acid or alkali or salty in it or put something in it for long time。
LMAO, what the actual fuck man? This is a video of how to cut open and water a pre-made, everything-done-for-you kit.
Take it from someone who grows mushrooms from spore prints and mycelium cultures: stick to green gardening. Mushroom growing is a complete world of it's own. There are better and ACTUAL videos of how to grow shitakes. This is lazy B.S. All of this should be included with the kit that the manufacturer of the block sends you. While thes are good care tips, you should follow instructions from the manufacturer of your kit.
It's not very often I'm impressed however watching this really made me think but have you looked at the resource called gregs mushroom grower just google for it
Where did you grow your kit? Is it okay to grow kitchen room? Need sunshine?
what is the point of placing the mycelium in the fridge for 3-5 days?
If you want to dechlorinate water even faster just drop one or two effervescent vitamin C tablets in it.
"So we are gonna soak it for 2-4hrs BOOM" …cut to… "3 days later"….bro wtf!???
The chloramine in water wont volatilize like the chlorine. Some humic acid (or any organic acid) will bind it though. Just enough to change the water color is perfect. I collect rain water to do this.
I inoculated some red oak logs with plug mycelium and it just started fruiting. The logs take a long time to colonize.
And so I find yet another little project I want to do.
Have you had any luck growing mushrooms at your new place?
How long did you soak it and then where did you place it? Video went from putting in to dunk and then right to the emerging mushrooms
You cant de-gass all types of chlorinated water. Some of the chlorine substances they put in do not evaporate. So if that's what you got, then leaving water out/ boilingit etc will give you more concentrated clorine.
It's interesting to see how confidently people teach others on mushroom growing, and it always includes some kind of info you've never heard of. This is a big problem in amateur mycology. We need more consistency and common knowledge.
Apologizes for eating with mouth full, literally 1 second later spits food out 10:10 xD It's all good bro I was just dying
