Enoki, also known as velvet shank or enokitake, is a species of edible mushroom well known for its role in Japanese cuisine. It has a sticky, somewhat rubbery, orange-ish cap along with a distinctively velvety stem that darkens from the base upward.

About plate cultures:

Plate cultures are ideal for growers looking to make master bags, inoculate grain, make liquid culture, or make more plates.

Our enoki (enokitake) plates are made to order in our in-house lab using medical-grade petri dishes. If properly stored upon arrival, they have a shelf life of approximately 6 months. Enoki (enokitake) plates should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain viability. Note that mycelium cultures require basic lab skills. Handle using sterile technique to prevent contamination.
