​Fresh Mushrooms - Shiitake

Shiitake are firm and nutty with lots of umami. Sauté and add to pizza, risotto, or miso soup; or stuff and bake caps with seasoned pork; delicious! Log-grown shiitake have a superior flavor and robust flavor that we're always excited about in the spring when they come back in season.

While the stems are edible, most people find them too tough. If you remove your shiitake stems prior to cooking, save them up in a bag in your freezer and throw them in the pot the next time you make a batch of stock.

We grow shiitake on both logs and blocks (bags of sterilized growing media). You'll almost certainly receive log-grown shiitake (with their superior flavor and texture) from us from July through October. At other times of year we'll have block-grown ones.

Our prices include a small credit card processing fee. If you live near the Twin Cities you can always stop by our booth at Mill City Farmers Market to purchase items in cash and avoid the fees.
