Each kit contains 30 inoculated timber dowels inside a sterilized plastic growbag with filter patch, wax, sponge applicator, full set of growing instructions, postage box and branded sleeve. We advise using fresh or recently felled (up to 8 weeks) hardwood logs up to50cm in length (6-12cm in diameter) such as cherry, oak, beech, birch, poplar, chestnut, fir, hornbeam, spruce or willow. We recommend avoiding sycamore, ash and conifers.
Please note that holes will need to be pre-drilled to accommodate the dowels (we recommend an 8.5mm drill bit). 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 1 year after your logs have been inoculated. Once fruiting, you could be harvesting fresh mushrooms for approximately 3 years. Please note: It is not recommended to mix different strains of mushroom dowels within one log. If want to grow a variety of mushrooms, we advise allocating only one type per log.
