Food-grade paraffin wax
After inserting the mycelium plugs into the logs, the holes are usually sealed with wax. This step is essential to ensure proper mycelium growth. Based on our experience, you’ll need about 50 g of wax for a log approximately 1 meter long inoculated with 50 plugs—that’s just under 1 gram per plug—allowing for a small amount extra to also protect the ends of the log.
Paraffin wax protects the mycelium from drying out while forming an effective barrier against insects, mold, and other contaminants. Sealing the holes is a key step in maximizing the chances of successful inoculation.
We use clear, food-grade paraffin wax, specially formulated for inoculating logs. It melts easily, applies cleanly, and hardens quickly as it cools, providing long-lasting protection.
Directions for use: In cold weather, the wax can harden quickly. Using a small wax melter or an electric slow cooker will help keep the paraffin at the right temperature throughout the process.

Pack it well; the small sponge seems more practical than a brush
I thought I wouldn't have enough, but in the end I had quite a bit left over. However, I wish there had been instructions on how to heat it up. I used the microwave, but it took a long time to melt.
Good product
Good quality!

The oyster mushroom spawn I ordered arrived well-packaged. A birch tree was recently removed from my garden, and I left a 1.80-meter stump in its place. I planted the spawn in it, and now I just have to wait a few months!
