Shiitake Hardwood Mushroom Plugs (100 Plugs/pk)
Shiitake Hardwood Mushroom Plugs (100 Plugs/pk)
For Hardwood Log & Stump Cultivation
Plug spawn consists of mushroom mycelium growing on small, spiral-grooved birch dowels. By inoculating stumps or logs, mushrooms can be colonized in the wood. After 9-12 months, the colony is established and mushrooms will spring from cracks in the wood.
Inoculate logs between March and October in the north and year round in the south. Drill 5-16 drill bit holes 2 inches deep in logs or stumps (not in live trees; for best results, use a tree cut at least 2 weeks but no longer than 2 months.) A 3'-4' log uses 50+ plugs, stumps usually hold 30-50 plugs. Each kit comes with 100 plugs.
- Lentinula edodes
- These Shiitake Mushroom plugs can be held for 2 weeks at room temperature or up to 4 months in the refrigerator before you inoculate logs.
- Detailed instructions are included. Follow the instructions exactly or the kit may not perform as expected.
- Please contact the customer service line at 888-33-shrooms for any troubleshooting advice or issues with the product.

I have been enjoying shiitakes for 2 years now, I dunked my logs for the first time midsummer, and boy what a harvest!!!
Mushroom plugs are quite simple to insert into logs. Instructions are straightforward.
I used a kit for a few fresh oak logs about 8 years ago. It took longer than expected (6 plus months) for them to start fruiting. Here is a tip. One of the logs started fruiting like crazy after I accidentally left it soaking and fully submersed in a tub of rain water for a week. I obviously wasn't keeping the logs wet enough. The logs produced sporadically for several years. We can't buy mushrooms this fresh.

from 9167 reviewsI grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
