The Shiitake mushroom ( Lentinus edodes ) was successfully grown and fruited on a substrate containing 7 parts hardwood sawdust and 3 parts oatmeal. Colonised blocks of substrate placed in a fruiting environment produced edible mushrooms in 9–15 days with an average total yield of c. 135% fresh weight mushrooms per unit dry weight of substrate.
