Account 100 x Mushroom Spawn Plugs For Logs - Shiitake - Lentinula edodes
Product Ref: 5500/4262699
Shiitake mushrooms have been hailed for both their culinary and medicinal benefits in Japan and other parts of Asia for hundreds of years, and their popularity worldwide increases every year. Found primarily on thicker-barked hardwoods like oak, they also do well on ''scrub'' hardwoods like alder. Mycelium is whitish in colour, becoming brown with age. Either stumps or logs can be inoculated. When properly cared for, our hardy strain of Shiitake will begin to fruit in as little as 6 months, with the most substantial fruitings appearing 1 year from inoculation. Pack of approx 100 impregnated plug spawn dowells, includes full instructions. These sterilized birch plugs are spirally grooved and fully colonized by pure mushroom mycelium. By using the dowels to inoculate cut logs or stumps, mushroom mycelium can be encouraged to grow throughout or colonize the wood. Once the wood is fully colonized mushrooms will spring forth from cracks or channels in the wood. UPDATE: These are now in stock, but we are unable to ship immediately as we are awaiting certification of stock from DEFRA, this should take about 1-2 weeks, and we will then ship straight away. Many thanks.
