Our Shiitake Mix combines FSC certified oak pellets with nutrient-rich wheat bran, creating an optimal substrate for gourmet wood-loving mushrooms, especially shiitake.

Key Features:

  • Balanced Composition: Oak pellets provide the woody base, while wheat bran offers essential nutrients.
  • Quality Ingredients: 100% natural, untreated oak pellets and finely textured wheat bran.
  • Moisture Control: Oak pellets maintain below 6% moisture content, ideal for controlled hydration.
  • Yield Enhancement: Wheat bran significantly boosts both quantity and quality of mushrooms.
  • Nutrient Rich: High in nitrogen and other essential nutrients, supporting robust mycelial growth.
  • Contamination Resistance: Low initial moisture content helps minimise contamination risks.
  • Ease of Use: Simply hydrate, mix, and sterilise for a ready-to-use substrate.
  • Versatility: Suitable for various gourmet mushroom species, optimised for shiitake.
  • Sustainable Sourcing: FSC certified oak and wheat milling by-products promote resource efficiency.

Usage:

  1. Hydrate oak pellets to desired moisture content.
  2. Mix in wheat bran (10-20% of total substrate weight).
  3. Sterilise the mixture thoroughly.
  4. Once cooled, inoculate with mushroom spawn.
  5. Incubate until fully colonised.

Note: While formulated for optimal growth, proper sterilisation remains crucial to prevent contamination.

This Shiitake Mix offers a professional-grade substrate, combining the benefits of hardwood and nutrient supplementation. It provides an ideal foundation for consistent, high-yield cultivation of shiitake and other gourmet mushroom species.
