Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)

Bold Flavor. Fast Harvest. Effortless Ritual.

Earthy, meaty, and deeply aromatic, shiitake are the backbone of countless unforgettable meals, and now you can grow them at home with ease and intention. Your Shiitake Hedge arrives alive and activated, already colonized with organic mycelium. All it needs is a little daily misting and a bright, indirect corner of your kitchen.

In about ten days, you’ll witness a flush of richly flavored shiitake forming in real time, nature working at full speed. Each harvest yields approximately 2 pounds of gourmet mushrooms, ready to slice, sauté, roast, or simmer into broths, noodles, and risottos.

This is slow food at its most surprising: grown with care, yet astonishingly fast. A small ritual with a generous return. A way to bring the forest’s abundance into your home, one harvest, one meal, one delicious moment at a time.

Grow boldly. Nourish well.
