Log inoculation
Inside your kit: 30 inoculated timber dowels inside a sterilised plastic grow bag with filter patch, either soy or beeswax, sponge applicator, full set of growing instructions, postage box and branded sleeve. For advice on the right type of wood please see our table and information page HERE.
Using the dowel method, we deliberately introduce our mushroom mycelium into the body of freshly felled timber, making sure it stands the best chance of success.
You should expect to see your first mushrooms from 9 months to 1.5 years after your logs have been inoculated. Once fruiting,you could be harvesting fresh mushrooms for approximately 5 years.
Don't forget, mushroom logs like to be kept moist and will need watering along with the rest of your plants throughout the year and especially throughout any dry spells. Keep your log protected from harsh winds and out of direct sunlight.
Description
Once delivered, your dowels will need to be used within 8weeks of receipt. If you're not ready to use them straight away,keep them in the fridge. Its best to source hardwood logs that have been felled within 4-6 weeks. Make sure the edges and bark of your logs have not been compromised and are in the best condition to give your mycelium the greatest chance to get growing. Our 30 dowel kits are sufficient for a 10-18cm diameter log, approximately 50cmlong. If your logs are bigger, you can order more dowels. You will need an 8mm wood drill piece. These can be purchased separately in our shop.
