Warm weather Shiitake WW (Lentinula edodes) is an adaptable shiitake strain bred to fruit reliably across a broad temperature range.
It produces meaty, flavourful caps with curled edges when young and broad, smooth surfaces at maturity, making it ideal for both home growers and small-scale producers.
Recommended substrate: Straw bales or straw-filled buckets, Hardwood substrate
Colonisation temperature: 13°C – 24°C
Pinning temperature: 16°C – 22°C
Pinning humidity: Around 95%
Fruiting temperature: 13°C – 24°C
Fruiting humidity: 80% – 90%
10 ml liquid culture syringe containing active Shiitake WW mycelium (Lentinula edodes)
Sterile alcohol wipe
18G sterile needle for easy injection into your chosen substrate or mushroom grow kit
All components sealed together in a secure zip-lock bag for clean, safe handling
Shiitake WW liquid culture is a nutrient-rich, sterilised broth made from distilled water mixed with light malt extract, dextrose, and honey to nourish and expand the mycelium.
The mycelium acts like the “roots” or seed of the mushroom and is ideal for inoculating straw bales, buckets, or other prepared substrates to start fast, even colonisation and dependable fruiting.
For best results, use your Shiitake WW liquid culture as soon as possible to ensure maximum freshness, vigour, and strong growth.
If you cannot use it right away, store the syringe in the refrigerator for up to 3 months; each batch is prepared fresh to order in a controlled lab environment under a flow hood and is routinely tested on agar and grain to guarantee clean, high-quality cultures and professional-grade packaging.
