The shiitake mushroom is known as the "queen of mushrooms", and with the growing awareness of the nutritional value and health functions of the shiitake mushroom, the need to expand the cultivation area of the shiitake mushroom, reduce the problems that arise during the cultivation process, and promote the development of the shiitake mushroom industry has become an urgent issue. Reducing production costs and ensuring strain quality is a crucial part of developing shiitake production that cannot be ignored.
Lifeasible provides tissue culture services for Shiitake mushrooms. Through tissue culture, we can obtain high-quality strains of shiitake mushrooms and select and breed excellent and high-purity master strains that can be used as original strains. Our services support research on how to improve shiitake mushrooms' reproductive efficiency in ex vivo culture and provide the technical basis for factory seedlings of shiitake mushrooms.
What is the Shiitake Mushroom?
Shiitake is an edible and medicinal wood-dwelling fungus. Native to East Asia, shiitake is one of the most widely cultivated fungi in the world. An invaluable ingredient in many Asian and vegetarian dishes, shiitake is rich in fiber, B vitamins (especially pantothenic acid), copper, selenium, manganese, and iron. This mushroom is widely used in traditional Asian medicine and contains many bioactive chemicals, such as the polysaccharide shiitake polysaccharide. This polysaccharide has been shown to benefit cancer and other diseases. It is considered a medicinal mushroom in some traditional medicines.
Our Services
Lifeasible offers tissue culture services to a wide range of researchers, preventing mushroom strain aging and helping to maintain pure strains with excellent characteristics.
We generally use the tissue isolation method to isolate strains, as asexual reproduction is less variable, easy to handle, and difficult to introduce stray bacteria; strain preservation generally uses potato, glucose, or white sugar medium. The mother strain can be stored for 2-3 months at room temperature.
We prepare a medium suitable for Shiitake mushrooms growth during the cultivation process. This includes the optimal nutrients and hormones for shiitake mushroom growth.
We offer the following key steps for shiitake tissue culture, and the exact procedure will be tailored to your needs

Value of Shiitake
Nutritional value
- Dried shiitake mushrooms are rich in minerals and a good source of calcium, iron, and phosphorus. It also contains trace elements such as manganese, zinc, copper, magnesium, and selenium. These elements can maintain normal muscle metabolism and prolong human life. They also have positive preventative and therapeutic effects on children's growth and development in certain mineral-deficient areas.
Medicinal functions
Shiitake mushrooms have several medicinal and health functions:
- Tumor prevention and treatment
- Immunity boosters
- Anti-thrombotic
