Shiitake, known scientifically as Lentinula edodes, is a familiar edible mushroom used in many cuisines. Its broad caps are valued for a savory, aromatic flavor and a substantial texture, while the stems can be tender when prepared. Shiitake is often cooked in dishes such as noodles, soups, and stir-fries, or sautéed as a side. This block is intended for home cultivation rather than as a ready-to-eat food product.
For this type of block, follow the included setup instructions and maintain steady humidity as directed.
