Although all our mushrooms are of the highest quality, we divided them into four categories based on size and shape.
Type A is our superior product: a thick mushroom with a round head.
Type B is a very high-quality mushroom which is a little thinner than Type A but has a larger head.
Type C is a high-quality mushroom with a large and flat head.
We also have a jumbo size, where the circumference of the shiitake measures 8cm or more.
We grow our mushrooms using a bed made from natural sawdust in a temperature-controlled environment. After the SHIITAKE bacteria has grown, the mushrooms are transferred to a green-house where they continue to grow. They are then picked by hand and packed for shipment.
