An improved substrate and method for culturing fungi, including Shiitake. The substrate is essentially cellulose-free and comprises a major portion of grain and minor portions of nutritional supplements. The grain is partially sterilized by boiling in order to kill bacteria, cooled in order to induce germination of the heat resistant spores, and steam sterilized before the germinated spores have matured sufficiently to create new spores. The substrate is inoculated with fungi, which are then cultured. |
