Chestnut Mushroom (edible stem)
Looking to grow your own delicious Chestnut Mushrooms? You’ve come to the right place! Our 5lbs grain spawn with proven genetics makes cultivation of these gourmet mushrooms a breeze. The Chestnut mushroom, from the same family as Nameko, is thrilling to find during its long blooming period on inoculated logs. Chestnuts have longer, slender edible stems and bright caps, which add crunch, color and rich flavor to any dish, whether it’s soups, sautés or a plate of scrambled eggs. This mushroom grows well on a wide range of hardwoods and fruits intermittently in the fall, usually a few weeks before Nameko. A heavy fruiter, logs give ample harvests for the first several years. Fruiting temp range: 40-65° F.
