Wriggle Wrigglers have some great grow your own mushroom offers.

Oyster Mushroom Log, Single

Oyster Mushroom Log, Single £19.95
The name refers to the shape of the cap which resembles an oyster and the flavour resemblance. The colour may range from white to gray or tan to dark-brown; margin inrolled when young, smooth and often somewhat lobed or wavy.

Shiitake Mushroom Log, Single

Shiitake Mushroom Log, Single £19.95
Valued for its full-bodied flavour, dark colour and meaty texture along with its proven medicinal benefits (antiviral, antifungal and anti-tumour effects). Eating Shiitake mushrooms lowers cholesterol levels and is reported to lower blood pressure. Shiitakes contain all 8 essential amino acids (in better proportions than meat, milk or eggs), are a great source of protein and contain a good blend of vitamins and minerals.

Turkey Tail Mushroom Log, Single

Turkey Tail Mushroom Log, Single £21.00
Called Turkey Tail in the United States because of its resemblance to… the tail of the wild turkey! In relation to cancer treatment it is seen as a ‘promising candidate for chemoprevention due to the multiple effects on the malignant process, limited side effects and safety of daily oral doses for extended periods of time.’

Lion's Mane Mushroom Log, Single

Lion’s Mane Mushroom Log, Single £21.00
The texture of this mushroom when cooked is often compared to seafood. In traditional Chinese medicine it has long been considered a medicinal mushroom. Research has linked Lions Mane with anti-dementia qualities and with the treatment of gastric and esophageal carcinoma.

Mushroom Log MultiPack, Twin Pack of Mixed Logs

Mushroom Log MultiPack, Twin Pack of Mixed Logs £34.90
Each log in a MultiPack comes inoculated with the appropriate mushroom mycelia. Once the mushrooms start to ‘pin’ and grow rapidly out of the log, your first crop of mushrooms could be ready for eating in just a couple of weeks. After harvesting, the logs can be reused, but must first be allowed to rest for four months. Full instructions are included. Please note that sometimes a log will take many many months to fruit – nature has no guarantees.
