About our mushroom products
All of our fruiting blocks and mushroom spawn are certified BC organic (KOGS#102), and are the very same products that we use on our own fresh mushroom farm in Kaslo, BC. As such, you have our assurance that all of our strains have been tested in various real-world growing environments, and meet the standards of a commercial mushroom farm. Besides the strains and products listed, please enquire if you have any specific fungal needs! We love custom cultivation jobs, and we are also able to offer further discounts to repeat customers and commercial clients.

Interestingly, this species can apparently also fruit on pine logs, especially two-needled pines (e.g lodgepole, pinus contorta). We are doing trials with pine and hope for results in 2022.

Oak and hard maples are the best woods for shiitake, but of our native western hardwoods, birch and alder are decent alternatives. Our Wide-Range shiitake dowel spawn can be force-fruited by soaking colonized logs in cold water overnight; it shares the same temperature range as our sawdust blocks, while our Cold Weather strains fruits naturally in the Spring and Fall, and our Warm Weather strain fruits in (you guessed it!) warm weather. Please refer to our documents on log inoculation for more details.
