Great shiitake genetics!

These shiitakes did great for me. They colonized relatively quick (for shiitake) and produced some nice, healthy fruits!

Warm fruiting shiitake that doesn't mind cold storage

I made a liquid culture master backup of these genetics and my health took a downturn, leading to my leaving it untouched in the library fridge. Still alive over 8 months later! Just a one quart mason jar, too. Great products and great service from MMM!
