Why do shiitake logs shrink?
Why do shiitake logs shrink?
The water loss amount and shrinkage degree of shiitake logs are 2 important indicators to judge the maturity of shiitake logs.
The shrinkage of shiitake logs is actually due to the sawdust being fully decomposed by the mycelium, and the excess moisture slowly release through the needle holes. As a result, the number of mycelia increases, while the volume of the wood chips becomes smaller and smaller, so the shiitake logs gradually shrink.
The most important condition for shiitake logs shrinkage is to provide sufficient ventilation. Ventilation increases oxygen supply,The process of shiitake log shrinkage is a process in which the shiitake logs naturally release moisture and the mycelium gradually matures.
