Shiitake is the world's second most cultivated mushroom and the bridge between gourmet and medicinal mycology. Lentinula edodes produces lentinan, a beta-glucan now used in clinical settings in Japan for immune support.
Our Shiitake liquid culture is selected for aggressive colonization and reliable fruiting. Produces classic brown caps with the rich, umami flavor that has made Shiitake a staple of Asian cuisine for centuries.
