How to seed logs with mycelium on wooden dowels?

Our commitment to quality:

We produce our mycelia in laboratory conditions, which guarantees the purity of the varieties and optimal quality.

We produce our myceliums in a 100% organic way and all our products are certified "BE-BIO-01, Agriculture Belgium" by CERTISYS.

Necessary equipment

- Log or block of wood recently cut (max 3 months). Avoid softwoods. Most hardwoods work well. Contact us if you want more specific information. Log diameter: between 10 and 25 cm. Length: between 50 and 150cm

- Mycelium on dowels: For a length of 1m, multiply the diameter of a log by 2.5. Example a log of 1m and 20cm wide: 20x2.5=50 dowels.

- 8-9mm drill and bit

- Hammer

- Optional : soy wax/ beeswax/ paraffin/ green clay to cover the holes.

Instructions

* Wash your hands before touching the mycelium to maximize the chance 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 must not protrude from the holes;

* Cover with wax. The wax serves to protect the mycelium from insects and diseases as well as from drying out. If not available, you can also use paraffin, cheese wax, or green clay;

* Wait: Place your logs in a shaded place sheltered from the winds. Avoid direct contact with the ground which could bring small insects and contamination. For example, you can 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.

*After incubation for 6 to 12 months, you can bury the logs side by side horizontally, leaving approximately 1/3 of the log exposed.

* Harvest and taste your production. A log made in good conditions can produce mushrooms for 3 to 5 years.

Remarks

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