Shiitake Mushroom FAQs:

How long does it take before I get my first crop of shiitake on logs?
- With WR46 shiitake sawdust, it takes approximately 9-12 months before you get your first crop
How many harvests can I expect from a shiitake log?
- This depends on whether you force-fruit your logs, but generally, you will get one natural fruiting in the spring and another in the fall
Do I need to replant my logs every year?
- No! Once you have your logs inoculated, they will produce mushrooms every year for 4-6 years without the need to "replant" each year
