Nameko mushroom kit

Reserve or join the waitlist

Nameko (Pholiota nameko, filed by some authorities as P. microspora) has small amber caps with a slippery gel coat that thickens miso soup and stews; the gel disappears when cooked.

It's a cool-season mushroom, triggered when temperatures first fall below about 50 °F, and fruits at roughly 40–60 °F. Keep humidity very high, around 90–98%, while it pins, and don't start fruiting before the block is fully colonised. See our grow-kit guide.
