Inoculated Plugs (Dowels) for Growing Mushroom on Logs in the Garden 

 

Mushroom dowel packs (NZ-Native & commercial cultures) are inoculated with a mushroom culture of your choice - wax is included for sealing along with detailed instructions.

 

40 mushroom dowels will do about two logs roughly 1m long x 125mm diameter - If you have excess dowels, add more dowels into a log and it will colonize and produce mushrooms faster.

 

Mushroom dowels are 8mm wide & made from locally sourced beech wood. Select from our extensive range of fully colonized dowel spawn using in-house cultures:

 

  • Shiitake - Lentinula Edodes
  • Grey Oyster - Pleurotus Pulmonarius
  • Pink Oyster - Pleurotus Djamor
  • Velvet Oyster/ NZ-Native Oyster - Pleurotus Parsonsiae
  • Enoki - Flammulina Velutipes
  • Tawaka/Poplar Mushroom, NZ Native- Agrocybe Parasitica 
  • Turkey Tail - Trametes Versicolor
  • Coral Tooth/ NZ Native Pekepeke-Kiore (LioNZ Mane) - Hericium Novae Zelandiae

 

***Logs not included -- you will need to source your own logs; often calling local arborists or garden groups can be a good way to find some.

TESTIMONIALS

"Excellent service!

Sporeshift have consistently got the best service of any online provider I have used. From the time of order to delivery the communication is great. I frequently wonder why other businesses can't to it the way they do. Excellence in action. And no, I am not their mother ... just a satisfied customer and mushroom lover. :)"

"Loving watching the magic of the growth cycle and increasing our own food security and self reliance in the process! My kindy wildlings are loving the video updates of how they're going each day! Excited to extend my varieties next. Oysters were definitely a winner on a magenta spreen, thyme, white sauce and olive pizza tonight!!"
