Geeignete Anbaumethoden:
The Shiitake CS-strain 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.
Der japanische Name "Shiitake" setzt
sich aus "Take" (= Pilz) und "Shii" (= Pasania-Baum) zusammen und
bedeutet wörtlich übersetzt "Pilz der auf dem Baum wächst". Der Shiitake
ist in Japan, Korea und China beheimatet und ist der Bevölkerung in
seinen Eigenschaften schon seit ca. 2.000 Jahren bekannt.
Sein
Geruch erinnert stark an Knoblauch und ist auf einen Inhaltsstoff namens
Lenthionin zurückzuführen. Der Shiitake gilt als der begehrteste
Speisepilz nach dem Champignon.
This fresh product is prepared fresh for you to order. The production time is around 3 - 6 weeks.
The mushroom spawn should be processed immediately after delivery.
If the product cannot be used immediately, it can be stored in the refrigerator at 4 °C for up to 2 weeks.
We recommend that you plan for this when ordering and making your preparations
Suitable cultivation methods:
wood logs,
mushroom patch, spawn bags for indoor greenhouses
Suitable substrate:
hardwood
Suitable woods: oak, beech, birch, alder, chestnut and shiia/pasania
Outdoors: this strain produces fruiting bodies during spring and autumn.
You receive fully colonised sawdust spawn based on organic raw materials (wood, rye bran from organic cultivation) in bags specifically suitable for sterilisation.
Information for cultivation on straw and substrate:
1 autoclave bag with app. 3 litres of mushroom spawn is suitable for inoculating 1 straw bale or 5 - 15 substrate bags
1 autoclave bag with app. 6 litres of mushroom spawn is suitable for inoculating 2 straw bales or 10 - 30 substrate bags.
Information for cultivation on wood:
When using our equipment (inoculation stick or hand inoculator) the sawdust spawn bags are suitable for:
1 autoclave bag with app. 3 litres of mushroom spawn is suitable for inoculating 12 - 15 linear metres of wood
1 autoclave bag with app. 6 litres of mushroom spawn is suitable for inoculating 25 - 30 linear metres of wood.
For quantities of 10 logs or more, inoculating with sawdust spawn ins usually more efficient than working with spawn dowels. The raw materials
Sawdust and wood chips are by-products and therefore more cost effective and sustainable than specially manufactured wooden dowels. As a result, sawdust spawn can also be produced cost-effectively in large quantities. Sawdust spawn is suitable for the drilling method and the cut inoculation method.
The expected yield is up to 10% of the fresh wood weight, divided into several harvest waves over a period of 3 - 5 years.
When utilising the drilling method we recommend using a mushroom drill and an inoculation stick or hand inoculator.
Suitable for beginners
