Nameko Mushroom
Scientific Name: Pholiota nameko
Nameko is a popular mushroom in Japanese cuisine, easily recognized by its amber to golden-brown cap and natural gelatinous coating. This slightly slimy texture gives a silky mouthfeel, especially in soups like miso or hot pot. It has a mild, nutty flavor and is known to contain immune-supporting beta-glucans. The gelatinous layer serves to retain moisture and is prized for culinary texture rather than avoided.
Substrate: Hardwood sawdust blocks or logs (beech, oak)
Colonization Temp: 70–75°F
Fruiting Temp: 50–60°F
Fruiting Humidity:85–95%
Light: Low to moderate indirect light
FAE: Moderate (excessive airflow can dry out gelatinous coating)
Notes: Requires a cold shock to induce fruiting; very sensitive to dry conditions during pinning.
Cultivation Difficulty: Experienced
