A fully colonized 90mm agar plate containing a direct clone of our Lentinula edodes mother culture - our Lentinula Edodes 3782 commercial strain we use in our own mushroom farm production at Freshrooms.
Why Freshrooms Agar Cultures
This is not an isolated wild culture. Every plate is a direct clone of our in-house mother culture, maintained and tested for purity on a continuous basis. What you receive is the exact genetics we rely on to grow mushrooms on our own farm.
About the Lentinula Edodes 3782 Strain
The 3782 is a distinct commercial Shiitake strain known for its robust fruiting and adaptability across a range of hardwood substrates. It produces firm, aromatic caps with the deep umami flavor Shiitake is prized for - a great choice for growers looking to compare strains or expand production with proven commercial genetics.
