Difficulty: Intermediate

Chestnut mushrooms aren't too difficult to cultivate, but can pose some minor challenges with identification. Not ideal for first time cultivators or those unfamiliar with how to properly identify different mushrooms species. 

A popular cultivated mushroom in Japan, the Chestnut mushroom is grown best on deciduous oak or maple logs. Once cultivated, the Chestnut mushroom has a full flavor that is evoked with thorough cooking. We recommend you use its rich, nutty flavor as a compliment to autumn soups. 

Note: Spawn is living and perishable.

Outdoor Log Growing Kits can be shipped either with mushroom spawn included (for projects that will begin within 3 months of the order date) or shipped with a voucher for receiving spawn at a later date (best for gifting or for projects beyond a 3 month start date). Plug spawn can live unrefrigerated for up to three months, though it is best to keep it refrigerated for long-term storage.
