How to seed logs with mycelium on wooden dowels?

Log or recently cut log (max 3 months). Avoid softwoods. Most hardwoods work well. Contact us if you would like more specific information. Diameter of the log: between 10 and 25 cm. Length: between 50 and 150 cm.
Mycelium on dowels: For a length of 1 m, multiply the diameter of a log by 2.5. Example: a log measuring 1 m and 20 cm wide requires 20 x 2.5 = 50 dowels.
8-9 mm drill and bit
Hammer
Optional : vegetable wax , beeswax, paraffin or green clay to cover the holes.

Wash your hands before touching the mycelium to maximize the chances of success.
Make the holes in your log. The holes should be slightly deeper than the height of the dowel. Space the holes approximately 5 cm apart. A 1 m long log requires approximately 50 dowels.
Insert the dowels into the holes using a hammer. The dowels should not protrude beyond the hole.
Cover with wax . The wax serves to protect the mycelium from insects and diseases as well as from drying out. Alternatively, you can also use paraffin, cheese wax or green clay.

Wait: Place your logs in a shady place, sheltered from the winds. Avoid direct contact with the ground which could bring small insects and contamination. You can, for example, place them on a pallet covered with a tarpaulin. In case of heat, pour a sprinkling of water on the logs occasionally to prevent them from drying out.
Harvest and taste your production. A log made in good conditions can produce mushrooms for 3 to 5 years.

The optimal periods for inoculating logs are fall, winter and early spring, before the sap rises.

The main enemy of this culture is drought: cover the woods with a tarpaulin or veil if necessary to maintain the humidity of the logs, especially during incubation.

We prepare our bags by weight, so there may be slight variations from the number indicated.

We inoculate the dowels with a mixture of mycelium on grains and wood shavings. It is therefore normal to have some shavings mixed with the dowels. This remaining shavings can also serve as inoculum.
