How to Grow Mushrooms with Plug Spawn?
Choosing the Right Logs
The key to successful mushroom log cultivation lies in selecting healthy trees or logs from a range of hardwood logs. Logs should ideally be 4-6 months cut prior and sourced from deciduous trees. Avoid wild fungi contamination by using proper safety measures.
Step-by-Step Cultivation Process
- Drill Holes: Use a specialized drill bit to create plug entrances in the logs.
- Insert Mushroom Dowels: Place mushroom plugs into the drilled holes.
- Seal the Plugs: Protect the mushroom mycelium using wax to prevent moisture loss.
- Maintain Moisture: Water the logs with clean water to keep the mycelium healthy.
- Monitor Growth: Over the course of 2-3 months, watch as the mushroom mycelium colonizes the logs, eventually leading to the emergence of baby mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms will be ready for harvest approximately a year after planting.
Tips for Successful Growth
Ensure a proper range of humidity and monitor the logs regularly. For indoor mushroom cultivation, consider using mushroom grain spawn, which provides a nutrient-rich base to start your mushrooms, ensuring strong and healthy growth under controlled conditions. Competitor mushroom species should be avoided to ensure a healthy yield. Please visit our instructions section for more tips on growing mushrooms.
