Shiitake mushrooms are one of the most popular mushrooms in the world, growing them however is a long and labour intensive task. They are generally grown on hardwood logs, where the log needs to be inoculated with shiitake mycelium or spores, which allows the hyphae to grow throughout the log. Fungi farmers have to submerge the logs for 1-2 days in water and then mechanically beat the logs, which is supposed to stimulate the shiitake into its reproductive phase of growth to produce those scrumptious mushroom caps. Sorry, tangent.

 

This mushroom contains large quantities of amino acid l-Ergothioneine, polysaccharides and triterpenes that serve as antioxidants. It is also a rich source of vitamin D.
