desertcart.com : North Spore Organic Shiitake (100 ct) Mushroom Plugs for Logs | Premium Quality Mushroom Plug Spawn | Handmade in Maine, USA | Grow Gourmet Mushrooms Outdoors on Logs | Lentinula edodes : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Well worth the effort - Received our order in March 2024 and placed our spawn plugs (shiitake, Italian oyster, snow, oyster, and lions mane) into the logs the following month. The order came with an instruction booklet which explained the best time of year to “plant” and what type of trees work best for each mushroom. Unfortunately, we had misidentified the tree we harvested for our logs and it was the one tree not listed. I didn’t want to cut down another tree so we used the serviceberry and hoped for the best. It is now early November 2024 and our shiitakes are blooming and we’ve even seen a few oyster mushrooms too. No growth on the lions mane but that may be due to us using a serviceberry for our logs. Needless to say, I am very happy with this purchase and I will definitely be using North Spore again.
Review: worked fine - had to keep bags in fridge a couple month longer then expected.. still the dowels inoculated the logs well and looks like its about to start fruiting. Second time i have ordered these and will do so again. It easily pays for itself in fresh shitakes. Note if you have too many mushrooms slice thin and put in a dehydrator for like 12 hours to make them shelf stable in a jar for years. If you want to force the innoculated logs to fruit then soak them in water a couple days and they will assuming its not freezing out.

## Features

- IDEAL FOR GROWING ON LOGS: Mushroom plugs work best for small to medium log inoculation projects. 100 count plug spawn packs usually are enough for 1-2 logs.
- GREAT FOR BEGINNERS: Easy to use. Mushroom plug spawn is very resilient and economical for small projects. Minimal tools required- mushroom plugs require only a hammer and some wax.
- 100% MADE IN USA: In-house mushroom spawn production. Made in Maine from the highest quality cultures by expert Mycologists.
- SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS are nutritious and delicious- a perfect meat substitute. Great for drying and reconstituting in soups.
