Shiitake 3790
Shiitake 3790 (Lentinula edodes) is a highly reliable shiitake strain valued for its firm texture, rich flavour, and consistently high yields.
With a relatively short incubation period, strong resistance to premature fruiting, and large, market-ready caps, it is a top choice for both commercial farms and serious hobby growers.
Growth parameters
Recommended substrates: Supplemented hardwood sawdust or hardwood logs
Colonisation temperature: 20°C – 24°C
Pinning temperature: 16°C – 22°C
Pinning humidity: Around 95%
Fruiting temperature: 15°C – 22°C
Fruiting humidity: 80% – 90%
What’s included
10 ml liquid culture syringe containing active Shiitake 3790 mycelium (Lentinula edodes)
Sterile alcohol wipe
18G sterile needle for easy injection into your chosen substrate or mushroom grow kit
All components sealed in a secure zip-lock bag for clean, safe handling
What is liquid culture?
Shiitake liquid culture is a nutrient-rich, sterilised broth made from distilled water combined with light malt extract, dextrose, and honey, formulated to feed and expand the mycelium.
The mycelium acts like the “roots” of the mushroom and serves as a living inoculant, ideal for starting grain spawn, sawdust blocks, or ready-made grow kits for efficient colonisation and dependable harvests.
Storage and quality standards
For best results, use your Shiitake 3790 liquid culture as soon as possible to ensure maximum freshness, vigour, and strong growth.
If you cannot use it immediately, store the syringe in the refrigerator for up to 3 months; every batch is prepared fresh to order in a lab under a flow hood and regularly tested on agar and grain to guarantee clean, high-quality cultures and professionally packaged products.
