Especially in Asia, the Maitake-mushroom is known for centuries as a very special and unique mushroom. One reason for this is seen in his dumose form, which allows the mushroom to fit perfectly into his surrounding and which offers him an excellent camouflage. Another reason lies in his ingredients which are so precious that collectors in ancient Asia kept the places of discovery top secret.

It is very simple to apply a mushroom bed in your garden!
The perfect time is spring, when the temperatures are higher then 0 ° celsius during night. We provide ready colonised wood-chips substrate for inoculation of an outdoor bed. Just mix the spawn with suitable substrate (i.e. wood chips or straw) and keep it wet! It is also possible to use rye grain for outdoor inoculation, but grain attracts to rats, mouse an other animals who eat the whole mycelium.

Depending on the species the first fruiting bodies will appear a few month after inoculation of the substrate. According to species, mushrooms will fruit for a few years, till all nutrients of the wood have been consumed by the fungus. With little luck, the mushroom will settle permanently in your garden.
