A specialty cultivar from The Mycelium Emporium. Selected for reliable fruiting and good cap development..
WX042 is a specialty shiitake cultivar from The Mycelium Emporium and a local commercial grower's favourite, prized for its reliably high yield. It colonises well and fruits consistently. The flavour is notably milder than our Asian cultivar — less smoky and wine-like, with a cleaner, more delicate umami that suits a wider range of dishes.
