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.
