Shiitake Mushroom Grow Kit/Block (shitake patch) -=WOW!

This auction is for a shiitake mushroom grow at home complete kit.  I've done a lot of comparison testing and I sincerely believe that my grow kits are superior to any other kit currently being sold.  I have taken the time to create an extremely detailed and professional set of printed instructions that come with every kit sold.  These instructions include all of the useful information you need to get the most out of your mushroom growing experience (many others offer little or no instruction at all).  My grow blocks are the biggest that I've seen for sale, larger than those of the most popular retailer, and capable of producing multiple flushes of mushrooms.  In addition, my kits come with the tools you need to properly support the humidity tent ensuring you the best results - most others completely skimp on this.  These kits make fantastic gifts for the person that has everything or the person that loves gardening or loves mushrooms.  Each kit is ready to begin producing delicious shiitake mushrooms right away.  I am also available to answer any questions you might have.

Why shiitake?  Simply put, shiitake is one of the best edible mushrooms you'd ever want to grow!  They are delicious and nutritious, and shiitake has also been noted for its medicinal value.  It is a source of B & D vitamins, antioxidants, protein, and essential amino acids.  It has even been shown to reduce cholesterol levels, regulate blood pressure, and boost the immune system!  Shiitake mushrooms have been used in medicine for hundreds if not thousands of years.  They supposedly even have anti-fungal, anti-tumor, and antiviral effects.  Shiitake is an excellent source of protein, and adapts well as a meat substitute in recipes. The antiviral effects are believed to be caused by Shiitake's ability to produce interferon. Researchers have reported that consumption of Shiitake mushrooms can lower blood cholesterol levels by as much as 45 percent.  The most dramatic results occurred when high-cholesterol foods were eaten simultaneously with Shiitake.  In two human studies, cholesterol dropped 6 to 15 percent when the amount of Shiitake consumed was nine grams per day or approximately 10 dried medium-sized mushrooms.  Shiitake contains all eight essential amino acids in better proportions than soy beans, meat, milk, or eggs as well as a good blend of vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, B, B12, C, D and Niacin.  Shiitake supposedly also produces a fat-absorbing compound which may aid in weight reduction.  Shiitake may even have a valuable role to play in cancer treatment.  For more information, please see the Shiitake Mushroom Center's list of studies performed on Shiitake.

Shiitake is well known for its excellent taste and can be used in countless recipes.  I put them on pizzas, burgers, pasta, and rice.  They are great in a stir fry, or sautéed with a little butter, garlic and onion.   There is even a YouTube video demonstrating how to turn it into delicious crispy "bacon".  Vegetarians often use shiitake as a meat substitute.

Note: I use ONLY organic practices and all of the food and plants that I grow conform to the USDA certified organic standards even though I am a very small farm that is exempt from the certification process.  I plan to apply for the certified naturally grown program (program for small farms). Thanks for considering my auction.
