Even that dishpan in the above picture will work. I drape a piece of wax paper over the top and secure it with a couple of clothes pins leaving it loose and airy.  I open it once and a while and mist the inside. Works great.

Hi Doc,

1st off as you already probably know at least 3 months in the bag is necessary.

Look at the difference between these two blocks, one was left only a month in bag and the other for 3 months.

Both were cold shocked and slapped about! Strain is 75.



I'll leave you to guess which is which!

Some other good tips from the resident shiitake rabbitI will pass on!

1.after unbagging,give a rinse off and cold shock around 40F  for a couple of days.

2, Then proceed to slap the blocks on all sides as hard as you can without them exploding and breaking.

3. Fruit at 50F - 60F, for shiitake 75 anyways.

What strain and substrate are you using, looks like starw and sawdust?

Good luck and post your results

Fractal.




Quick question for this thread! I am a first time shiitake grower, but about every video I have watched on the cold shocking process and that, I see they put the block still in the bag into the fridge to cold shock.
After reading this thread, I see that I am supposed to remove the bag first, rinse off, and then just put the block into cold shock with no bag? Just want to clarify this for myself!!

Also, in a tutorial I watched, he cold shocked in the bag, and then put the whole thing in the grow, still in bag for a day or two, then he removed the bag. Is there any benefit to that??

Excited to grow shiitake!! I have 2 bags going, 1 is just about completely brown, the other one is a bit behind and just now turning brown. They've been going a month in a half, going to do my best to hold them off for 3 months total! The one that's all brown's testing my patients, but all part of the game and the learn.

I would do this.  It's always preferable (to me) to wait until there's pins to strip the bag.  Otherwise you're drying it out prematurely while no mushrooms are growing.

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

Thanks for that clarification. 👍🏼
I'll keep them in the bag during the cold shock, and after a full day atleast in the grow, I will then remove the bag and rinse them.
