Organic Hen of the Woods (Maitake) Grain Spawn

Our USDA-certified organic Hen of the woods (Grifola frondosa) features a popular strain that produces mushrooms with a delicate feathery texture and earthy rich flavor. Hen is one of the finest fungi on the market, despite the fact that it's not as popular as other foods in its category. Its lacy sides make it a great option for frying, roasting, sautéing, and adding a visual flair to many dishes. Indoor fruiting can be inconsistent, and growing conditions must be well maintained. For this reason, these mushrooms are best for more advanced growers who have had some success growing other species indoors. 

Recommended use:

• Hen of the woods grain spawn can be used for indoor production using sawdust-based sterilized substrate. 
• Do not use grain spawn for log inoculation.
• This is not a mushroom grow kit. Hen of the woods grain spawn must be combined with a substrate in order to fruit. 

Upon receiving your spawn:

Remove it from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive!
