Over the past few years, a great interest has been developed in the world around
the cultivation and consumption of shiitake mushroom. These meaty-tasting fungi
are a product of the Orient world. Production of shiitake mushroom has increased
faster than any other specialty mushroom with the proven therapeutic benefits.
With its increasing popularity, shiitake became the leading contributor to the world
mushroom production. Since this mushroom is grown in small quantities in India,
the dried shiitake is fetching high price in the urban and semi urban markets. Shiitake
mushroom cultivation in India is still at budding stage and the farmers who entered
into its cultivation can tap the huge potential in the domestic market. Shiitake
mushrooms could potentially be a very important in future food supplies and in
new dimensions of sustainable agriculture and forestry.
This publication describes the techniques for shiitake mushroom production
both on natural logs and artificial bag logs. It describes the common techniques
based on the experimental findings, as well as insights collected from the growers
in India and China. In addition to the production methods, this publication also
gives an overview on the pharmacological properties of shiitake and discusses the
