Strain | Snow Cap™ Shiitake

Lentinula edodes

Snow Cap™ shiitake prefers high humidity, making it an excellent choice for winter production in the south. This strain produces thick, chewy caps that are tufted with thick white ornamentation. Snow Cap™ fruits naturally in the spring and fall, but does not respond to force-fruiting.
