Nameko Mushroom Log Growing Kit
Get growing on your redundant Christmas tree with our Nameko mushroom log dowel kit.
Nameko mushrooms are one of only a few that will grow on fir or pine trees, and what a great way to put your old tree to use.
They’ll take 9-12 months to inoculate, and will fruit after the first frost or snowfall of the winter.
Inside your kit: 30 inoculated timber dowels inside a plastic grow bag with filter patch, either soy or beeswax, sponge applicator, full set of growing instructions, postage box and branded sleeve.
Description
YOU CAN ADD AN 8.5mm DRILL BIT - ALSO AVAILABLE IN OUR SHOP HERE.
Using the dowel method, we deliberately introduce our mushroom mycelium into the body of freshly felled timber, making sure it stands the best chance of success.
You should expect to see your first mushrooms from 9 months to 1 year after your logs have been inoculated. Once fruiting, you could be harvesting fresh mushrooms for approximately 3 years.
Don’t forget, mushroom logs like to be kept moist and will need watering along with the rest of your plants throughout the year and especially throughout any dry spells. Keep your log protected from harsh winds and out of direct sunlight.
Once delivered, your dowels will need to be used within 8 weeks of receipt. If you’re not ready to use them straight away, keep them in the fridge. It’s best to source hardwood logs that have been felled within 6-8 weeks. Make sure the edges and bark of your logs have not been damaged and are in the best condition to give your mycelium the greatest chance to get growing. Our 30 dowels kits are sufficient for a 8-18cm diameter log, approximately 50cm long. If your logs are bigger, you can order more dowels. You will need an 8.5mm wood drill piece. These can be purchased separately in our shop.
Important Information
