3.0 out of 5 stars Shiitake cultivation : not for everybody, December 12, 1999
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shiitake Growers Handbook: The Art and Science of Mushroom Cultivation (Paperback)
This is a well-written book about technical and practical aspects of commercial shiitake growing. If you are seriously considering commercial production of shiitake it is a must-have book.

Its subtitle, "The Art and Science of Mushroom Growing" is misleading. Far more accurate would be "The Science and Practice of Commercial Shiitake Production". Except for a phylogenetic references, it has nothing to say about mushrooms other than shiitake. I had set out to learn enough about mushrooms in general and shiitake in particular to grow a few for friends and family. Unfortunately, the shiitake is native to Southeast Asia and likes a steadily warm humid environment. Based on what I gathered from this book, neither amateur nor commercial shiitake production is practical where I live, so I'm still looking for a good book on small-scale mushroom cultivation in a temperate climate

This review is from: Shiitake Growers Handbook: The Art and Science of Mushroom Cultivation (Paperback)
This is a very good starter book. It is an easy read - have already read it twice - and I find that it is good to get the basic principles. It does go into a few practical ideas for production.

5.0 out of 5 stars an very intersting book for me, December 22, 2002
By 
sandra montoya (Manizales, Colombia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shiitake Growers Handbook: The Art and Science of Mushroom Cultivation (Paperback)
I'm sorry, but I don't writte good in english. I will be writte in espanish about book.
Yo soy Colombiana y vivo en la ciudad de Manizales, Colombia; cultivo hongos de varias especies hace alrededor de 10 años, llevo un año cultivando shiitake, me interesa todo lo que se refiere a los hongos, este libro me parece interesante, porque se dedica únicamente al shiitake, los demás libros que tengo hablan de varias especies, los autores son conocidos en el mundo de los hongos y el precio del libro es sumamente accequible. Con respecto al servicio les expreso que me pareció muy buena la acogida por parte de ustedes, espero que podamos tener buenas relaciones y que nos volvamos socios comerciales. Espero que el escribirles en español no sea una limitación para nuestra futura relación.

Que tengan un buen día
