You can get a 10 lb bag of aloha 3782 for around $60 shipped. From yhere make your master cultures, do some g2g and use the bag for a batch.

It's not a kit, it's grain spawn. I did that too with my King Oyster K01 spawn from them, and it's the best culture I own. However I did just recieve a 3782 shiitaki cuture in trade and just got it onto grain, I have high hopes. http://www.alohaculturebank.com/grain-spawn.html#.WFCpVdUrLIU

I wasnt reffering to the grain spawn, but rather to kits i buy from various companies that are marketed as such.
I do want to inoculate some bags this weekend. Hopefully i can play with multiple strains soon.

Yes. C41 from Northwest Mycological fruited very consistently for me.

When you think about it bags are basically a log. So any indoor fruited shiitake should work well in log form. Just have to take necessary steps to force them.

I have gone to fruiting smaller length logs indoors. Outside, the bugs, slugs and squirrels get to them before I do.

About a year I believe. Put them up in the spring of 2015, had my first ones appear as soon as the weather warmed this past spring. Put up Night Velvet last spring, thinking of trying Snow Cap next.
I never have enough logs to use up a whole 5 pound bag of spawn so I was thinking of trying to fruit the leftover spawn. I've also seen a kit/spawn supplier recommend "recycling" bag spawn by inoculating logs AFTER fruiting. Not sure which would be more productive. Anybody ever try something similar?

I say get the materials and make a nice sized block!
Im gonna try a couple nutrient experiments once the holidays are over. Ill post a quick outline of the experiment when i start, so anyone who is interested in replicating it has a reference. Just some rogue science from a novice mushroom grower, but hopefully someone will benefit from results.

I recently failed at an experiment with 720. I had read a thread where it was stated that several blocks were left outside over the winter and froze solid. The poster then said when they thawed, they grew like crazy. I threw a bag in the freezer, and it grew some very pretty mold when thawed.

I had a theory about cold consolidation with another irrelevant mushroom. That's interesting.

Has anybody heard of the strain "66"? I tried the SE and google. I'm trying to figure out this variety I've been working with. Have a feeling it has a different name...I'm just learning Shiitake so these are blocks that I bought from another farm and fruited out. Just getting set up for sterilizing. Any thoughts on what this is?

Nutritional analysis of raw Shiitake mushrooms. Hope this helps somehow.
