Mushroom Plug Spawn
Hardwood plug spawn for inoculating logs and stumps, made and grown in the USA at Fungi Farm in Alabama. Myceliated dowels you drill into fresh hardwood. Choose pack size and variety above. Made to order; ships in about 1-2 weeks. Instructions included.
Pack sizes: 100, 300, 500, or 1000 plugs. Select pack and variety above for live pricing.
How plugs work
Drill a hole about 1" deep into a fresh hardwood log or stump, insert the plug, and seal with wax. The mycelium colonizes the wood over the following months. Once colonized, a well-managed log can fruit for several seasons.
What you need: a drill, a 5/16" bit, and wax. That is the full starter kit for outdoor log or stump inoculation.
Varieties
Shiitake, Chestnut, Brown Oyster, Chicken of the Woods, and Maitake. Availability varies by pack and variety; check the options above before you order.
Scaling up
Sawdust spawn also works for logs and stumps, and is usually more cost-effective when you are inoculating at scale. Plugs are ideal for smaller projects and precise hole-by-hole work. Switch to sawdust when you are filling many holes or expanding outdoor production.
