Pre-Inoculated Mushroom Logs

Due to popular demand, we now offer grow at home mushroom logs (along with our wooden dowel spawn plugs for DIY mushroom log production) – The hassle free mushrooms growing ‘kit’. Approximately 4-5″ diameter hardwood logs which are sourced on our doorstep in the Forest of Dean. Each log is cut by hand from healthy, disease-free trees (local hardwood) which are then professionally graded, hand drilled, inoculated using the same mushroom strains we use in our commercial mushroom growing operation and then sealed with log sealing cheese wax to keep the wood from drying out.

All logs we use are from woodland thinnings or forestry waste which otherwise would be destined for chipping or firewood, so we’re giving them another, greater purpose! We make sure to inoculate all logs within a couple of weeks of felling to promise high yields and healthy fruits with each log having a tag on the handle to identify the strain and inoculation date.

Each log will naturally fruit after full colonisation, a number of times each season dependant on strain and weather for up to 4 years, again depending on size and environmental conditions.

The perfect gift which keeps giving and giving, suitable for young and old.

• Mushroom logs should be placed in a shady part of your garden, one which is open to rainfall and ideally remains moist at all times (the ideal conditions for mushrooms to grow in!)
• Hand made in the Forest of Dean.
• Healthy, nutritious and delicious mushrooms, grown just as nature intended.
• Certain mushroom strains like Shiitake can be ‘cold shocked’ to induce fruiting sooner with multiple harvests possible each year.
