Instructions for cultivation on logs and strawpellets see attached file.
450 grams of mycelium of the variety you choose
1 x 18mm drill bit
1 x 6mm drill bit
150 grams of beeswax
1 wax applicator
Choose fresh logs without damage to the bark.
1. Drill 4 cm deep holes with the 18 mm drillbit and in the same hole 11-37 cm deep with 6 mm drillbit to create a channel for the mycelium to penetrate. The holes are drilled 15-20 cm apart in a zigzag pattern on the outside of the log and with 5 cm intervals in the surface wood 2 cm from the bark.
2. Fill the holes with mycelium using the the mycelium injector, leave 5 mm for waxing.
3. Seal the holes with the supplied beeswax by melting it in a pan (suggested by water bath). Dip the wax applicator and "dab" on the hole.
4. Soak the logs for a couple of days or moisten well with a water sprinkler.
5. Place the logs upright in a shady place protected from the wind.
6. Soak/water the logs as needed to maintain moisture content.
