Shiitake - Lentinula edodes

Syn.: Lentinus edodes, Agaricus edodes, Shii-Take, Shaingugu, Hua Gu, Qua Gu, Chinese black mushroom, black forest mushroom

Shiitake CS originates from China and was especially developed for outdoor Shiitake cultivation on wood logs. For cultivation on mycelium block in a greenhouse this strain is perfect for spring and fall, because it brings the best yield at medium temperature (15 - 18 °C). When cultivated outdoors, this strain brings smaller fruiting bodies, under convenient weather conditions the fruit bodies start cracking and make the in Asia high priced Huagu Shiitake (Flower-Shiitake). Cracking enlarges the surface that leads to more intense taste and harder texture, additional cracked Shiitake can absorb more of the used spices and seasoning sauces during preparation for a meal. The Shiitake has originally been domiciled in Japan, Korea and China and his special characteristics are known by the people for more than 2000 years. The smell of this special mushroom is very similar to garlic and is due to an ingredient called Lenthionine. Shiitake counts to the most popular gourmet-mushrooms in the world.
