Strain | WR46™ Shiitake

Lentinula edodes

The WR46™ shiitake strain is popular among commercial as well as first-time growers due to its fast spawn run time and heavy first flushes. Does best under cool nights and warm days, but can suffer under high humidity. This strain has a strong force-fruit flush capability in the spring and fall.
