Start growing a special mushroom with Zombie Mushrooms' Hen of the Woods Grain Spawn. These mushrooms have complex clusters that look like a hen's feathers. People really like them for both their great taste and possible health benefits. If you grow for health reasons to get a mushroom that might help your immune system, like their rich, earthy taste for cooking, or sell to high-end markets, our Hen of the Woods spawn can help you grow a top mushroom.
Each 3-pound bag shows we picked our type carefully. We focused on how well it grows, but also how much beta-glucan it has and its good flavor. People who pick them, cook with them, and use them for health think they are great.
What Is It?
This is our 3-pound Hen of the Woods Grain Spawn bag. It has rye grain with strong mushroom growth ready to grow mushrooms or spread more. Hen of the Woods mushrooms (also called Maitake) are known for their many overlapping caps. They form complex shapes like feathers and can get quite big.
This spawn is made in a lab for serious growers. It has genetics picked for growing steady clusters, good compounds that might help your immune system, and a deep, savory flavor. This flavor makes them popular in cooking.

Why Choose Our Hen of the Woods Spawn?
Growing Hen of the Woods is one of the harder mushrooms to grow, but it's worth it for its taste and health benefits. We have worked for years to understand and make this special mushroom grow well.
Our spawn has unique qualities for serious growers. When you choose our Hen of the Woods spawn, you get knowledge from many growing times. Here is why you should choose our Hen of the Woods spawn:
1. Genetics from old forests
Our Maitake type comes from wild mushrooms from old oak forests. There, they got the complex flavor and health properties that make really good ones special. We kept these wild traits while making the mushroom growth reliable for growing. This link to old forest genetics helps your mushrooms have all the compounds that make wild Maitake so liked.
2. Might help immune system
Hen of the Woods is known for having a lot of beta-glucans. Science shows these can help your immune system and overall health. We picked and tested our type to have more of these good compounds. This makes it especially good for people interested in growing mushrooms for health. This focus helps you sell to markets beyond just food.
3. Good for cooking and is well-liked
Our Maitake type has the complex flavor and firm texture that is popular in good restaurants around the world. They make both Asian and Western dishes better with their rich, earthy taste and solid feel. If you grow for business, chefs want them and will pay more for fresh ones that taste and feel better than dried ones.
4. Can grow for years
If you set it up right on hardwood material, our Hen of the Woods type can give you mushrooms many times over several years. This is a big plus compared to mushrooms you only get one harvest from. This ability to grow year after year helps you get your money back for a long time, especially if you grow outside on logs or stumps.
How To Use It
Growing Hen of the Woods needs a different way than mushrooms that grow faster. It needs patience and using good material, but you get valuable mushrooms. How they grow and how big they can get needs special steps. If you do it right, you get great results.
-
Grow on sawdust - Use hardwood material (oak is best) with 20% wheat bran in bags you can heat treat.
-
Put on logs - Use fresh-cut oak logs (10 to 12 inches wide). Use plug spawn made from grain.
-
Grow on stumps - Put spawn on fresh-cut oak stumps to grow outside for many years.
-
Wait a long time - Let it grow for 2 to 3 months before you start making mushrooms.
