The key to successful log propagation is the right growing medium. Our Mushroom Dowel Shiitake Growing Plugs are specifically designed for logs containing Lentinula edodes, a prized species of shiitake mushroom.
These dowels are crafted from high-quality mycelium that has been carefully inoculated with the spores of the target mushroom strain. The result is a plug that will produce mushrooms in as little as 1-2 months, or even faster if conditions are ideal.
The Mushroom Dowel Shiitake Growing Plugs are designed for logs containing Lentinula edodes, which can be found in a variety of hardwood species. Our dowels work best when used with logs that have a diameter between 3/4 and 1 1/2 inches, as these sizes allow for optimal mycelium growth.
When using the Mushroom Dowel Shiitake Growing Plugs, it is essential to provide them with adequate moisture and warmth. We recommend placing the dowels in a humid environment with temperatures between 55-65 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and around 50-55 degrees at night. With proper care, these plugs can produce high-quality mushrooms for both culinary and medicinal purposes.
