In This Workshop You'll Learn

How to Inoculate Logs

• Drill holes in a diamond pattern around the log.

• Use a 5/16" (8.5 mm) bit for plug spawn or a 7/16" (12 mm) bit for sawdust spawn.

• Drill holes 1" deep, spacing holes 4" apart with rows staggered 2" apart.

• Insert plug spawn with a hammer or mallet, or pack sawdust spawn using an inoculation tool.

• Seal every hole with melted wax to protect the spawn from drying out and contamination.

Incubation & Care

• Stack logs in a shady location off the ground.

• Maintain proper airflow while protecting logs from drying winds.

• Monitor moisture during extended dry periods.

Fruiting & Harvesting

• Learn when to expect your first mushrooms.

• Encourage fruiting through soaking techniques.

• Understand seasonal fruiting cycles and long-term log productivity.
