How to use
Using the dowel method, introduce the mushroom mycelium into the body of freshly felled timber. Keep the log away from direct sun and strong wind. Water during the dry spells to keep slightly moist. You should see the first mushrooms within 9-12 months. Once fruiting you will be able to harvest fresh mushrooms for approximately 3 years.
- What type of log should I use for the kit and how do I prepare it?
- For the best results, use hardwood logs like oak, beech, or maple. Ensure the log is freshly felled, as older wood might contain competing fungi that can hinder growth. The log should be clean and free from moulds and pesticides.
- Can I grow these mushrooms indoors, or are they strictly for outdoor use?
- The kit is designed for outdoor use to mimic natural conditions. However, if you have a cool, moist, and well-ventilated area indoors, you can try growing them there, but outdoor environments typically yield better results.
- How sustainable is this mushroom growing kit?
- The kit promotes sustainability by using biodegradable components like soy wax and recyclable materials in its packaging. Growing your own mushrooms also reduces the carbon footprint associated with purchasing store-bought varieties that need to be transported.
