Pleurotus citrinopileatus
The yellow oyster mushroom is a tropical variety that fruits naturally when temperatures reach 18 to 25°C. It withstands light frost without any problems.

How to Inoculate Logs with Mycelium on Wooden Dowels?
Our Commitment to Quality:
We produce our mycelia under laboratory conditions, which ensures variety purity and optimal quality.
We produce our mycelia 100% organically and all our products are certified "BE-BIO-01, Agriculture Belgium" by CERTISYS.
Required Equipment
- Log or recently cut wood block (max 3 months). Avoid softwoods. Most hardwoods are suitable. Contact us if you need more specific information. Log diameter: between 10 and 25 cm. Length: between 50 and 150 cm.- Mycelium on dowels: For a 1m length, multiply the log diameter by 2.5. For example, a 1m log with a 20cm diameter: 20x2.5=50 dowels.
- Drill and 8-9mm bit
- Hammer
- Optional: soy wax / beeswax / paraffin / green clay to cover the holes.
Instructions
* Wash your hands before handling the mycelium to maximize the chances of success.
* Drill holes in your log. The holes should be slightly deeper than the height of the dowel. Space the holes about 5 cm apart. A 1m long log requires approximately 50 dowels.
* Insert the dowels into the holes using a hammer. The dowels should not protrude from the holes.
* Cover with wax. The wax protects the mycelium from insects and diseases as well as from drying out. Alternatively, you can use paraffin, cheese wax, or green clay.
* Wait: Place your logs in a shaded area sheltered from the wind. Avoid direct contact with the ground to prevent insects and contamination. You can place them on a pallet covered with a tarp, for example. In hot weather, occasionally pour a watering can of water over the logs to prevent them from drying out.
* Harvest and enjoy your production. A log prepared under good conditions can produce mushrooms for 3 to 5 years.
Notes
The optimal periods for inoculating logs are autumn, winter, and early spring, before the sap rises.
The main enemy of this cultivation is dryness: cover the logs with a tarp or cloth if necessary to maintain moisture, especially during incubation.
We prepare our bags by weight, so there may be slight variations in the indicated number.
We inoculate the dowels with a mixture of grains and wood chips. It is normal to have some sawdust mixed with the dowels. This remaining sawdust can also serve as inoculum.
