The Shiitake Mushroom Log is an item for avid gardeners and at-home chefs that will provide them with a way to grow their own fungi from the comfort of their own kitchen. The log comes in the form of an aged fallen oak log that has been pre-inoculated with organic shiitake spores by farmers in rural Georgia. The log only needs to be soaked in water before being placed in a cool, dark spot for an extended period until the mushrooms start to sprout.
The Shiitake Mushroom Log is capable of being used multiple times to grow mushrooms by simply re-soaking it and storing it once again to make it great for avid chefs seeking a way to keep fresh mushrooms on hand.
