Shiitake mushrooms were the first variety that were successfully cultivated using the log growing method in Chian & Japan over 1000 years ago!

Shiitake mushrooms have a strong umami flavour when sauteed or steeped in boiling water, they are often dried and rehydrated prior to use to intensify their flavour.

 

Turn your garden into a forager's paradise with our outdoor mushroom log kits!

YME log kits are a great way of bringing edible fungi into your garden! Using this kit you will be able to cultivate the selected fungus on a hardwood log and harvest edible mushrooms. Our kits come in a range of species, each containing comprehensive instructions and all you need to inoculate 2 hardwood logs. (logs not included).

Harvest delicious edible mushrooms from your garden

The inoculated log will take 6 - 12 months to develop and can then produce crops of mushrooms every 6 – 12 months. Logs can keep producing for up to 8 years!

Utilise the 'hard to grow' shady spot in your garden

We all have that corner of our garden that gets no sun and makes growing difficult, did you know that these shady conditions are perfect for log growing?

Bring biodiversity into your garden​

Why not turn your mushroom growking logs into a feature? Create a log stack in the traditional Japanese method or create a roof for your bug hotel!

Excellent kit with very detailed instructions!

Loved the outer packaging, and the inside of the kit gives you everything you need to start growing mushrooms outdoors on logs. There ‘s enough dowels in the kit to do 2 good sized logs, and the extensive instructions mean you can’t go wrong. Inoculated my logs 3 months ago and am now starting to see mycelium growing on the cut ends of the log. Looking forward to my mushrooms growing next year!

Shiitake kit

Having trouble getting suitable wood and also did not realise the mushrooms would take so long to produce. The chestnut mushrooms are doing fine though.
