Outdoor Mushroom Log Growing Kits.

£18.50

Inside your kit: 30 inoculated timber dowels inside a sterilized 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.

For NAMEKO dowels please see our PREORDER option HERE.

You can add an 8.5mm DRILL BIT - available HERE if needed.

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 8 weeks of receipt.  If you’re not ready to use them straight away, keep them in the fridge.     It’s 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 50cm long.  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.

Important Information

Use by date: The inoculated dowels within your kit must be used within 8 weeks from receipt.

Storage: Please keep your dowels inside their bag and refrigerated till ready to use.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED. 

Recycling your kit: All paper and card can be recycled with your standard card recycling.  The plastic bag can be cleaned and recycled with your soft plastic recycling.  The sponge applicator handle can be composted or disposed of with your normal food waste.  Once your logs have finished fruiting, they can be left to decompose in your garden or disposed of with your normal garden waste.
