King Oyster Mushroom - Rapid mycelium (Pleurotus eryngii)

To grow mushrooms on logs with rapid mycelium, you need an 18mm drill, a 6mm drill, beeswax and a wax applicator. You can find this in the shop under "accessories" in the menu.

Choose fresh logs without damage to the bark.

1. Drill 4 cm deep holes with 18 mm diameter and in the same hole 11-37 cm deep with 6 mm diameter to create a channel for the mycelium to penetrate. (drills are included in complete log growing kits and can be ordered separately from the Mushroom House web shop) The holes are drilled at 15–20 cm intervals in a zigzag pattern on the outside of the log and at 5 cm intervals in the surface wood 2 cm from the bark.

2. Fill the holes with mycelium using the Mushroom House's mycelium injector, leave 5 mm for waxing. (separate mycelium injector can be bought separately in the shop).

3. Seal the holes with the beeswax by melting it in a pan (suggested by water bath). Dip the wax applicator and "dab" on the hole. (Wax and wax applicator are included in the log growing kit and can be ordered separately in the webshop).

4. Soak the logs for a couple of days or moisten well with a water sprayer.

5. Place the logs upright in a shady place protected from the wind.

6. Soak/water the logs as needed to maintain moisture content.

All orders placed before 11:00 a.m. are shipped the same day. We deliver with DHL, and deliveries usually take 2-3 working days. At hot temperatures in the summer that exceed 25 degrees, we wait to send products containing mycelium until the temperature has dropped. This is to protect mycelium, which is sensitive at too high temperatures.
