water injection kits for shiiitake
    #18838935 - 09/13/13 09:26 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I have been interested in using water injection instead of soaking shiitake blocks.
Has anyone experimented with this and can give an idea of how long it takes to rehyrate a block that has become light?

Also does anyone know where to purchase a few good injection needles that can attached to a hose for re hydrating  blocks?

Not necessary.  Simply place the block into a 5 gallon bucket of water and gently squeeze a few times.  You'll see the air bubbles escape, and then water will be drawn in.  Within 2 minutes you can have the block back to original weight.

@ RR:

What if the block is already covered with pins? I've thought about trying a meat injector syringe with a stainless steel needle to add a little extra water to a block that is almost finished fruiting but drying out. I don't like to spray heavily past a certain stage because the caps deform on me. I don't like the idea of having to handle the block at this stage either in order to submerge and squeeze. I'll test this one out both ways and report back. RR has never steered me wrong but amazon will have my 2 oz injector here in 2 days for 6 bucks so what the hell right.
