Thanks. All-natural hardwood log injected with shiitake spawn produce mushrooms every two months for years. Grow indoors with plants or outside in shade. To produce mushrooms soak log in non-chlorinated ice water for 24 hours. Harvest in 6-10 days. Logs require regular soaking in non-chlorinated room temperature water every two weeks. PLEASE NOTE: Logs are ALIVE and can't remain in the packaging without air and light for more than two weeks. Thanks!
