Delivery Conditions
Plugs
- Once received the plugs can be used up until 2 months when kept in a closed bag in a good functioning refridgerator.
- Sometimes the plugs turn white but that is not a problem. They should not turn green (not dangerous but damaging to the quality). Report this to Groene Takken, preferably with a photo, by sending an email to info@groenetakken.nl. Advice will be given and further action will be taken.
- The instructions sent with the plugs should be followed. Extra information can be found on the website of Groene Takken and/or further questions can be sent to info@groenetakken.nl.
- The care and use of the plugs is the responsability of the user. There is no guarentee on the plugs once they have reached their destination because of the many factors beyond the control of Groene Takken.
Shiitake logs
- All logs have initially produced mushrooms under supervision of Groene Takken (guarantee that the logs are productive).
- By following the instructions and under normal conditions a shiitake log can be expected to produce shiitake mushrooms for the next 4-5 years.
- Please note that the number of mushrooms per harvest can vary heavily depending on weather conditions.
- The logs cannot be returned and there will be no refund for seemingly underperforming logs due to uncontrollable factors by the new owner but the customer is welcome to ask advice and will receive it.
