Cultivate Lion's Mane Mushrooms on Logs at Home
Our high-quality lion's mane mushroom plugs enable you to easily inoculate your own hardwood logs or tree stumps at home. Every single plug we grow features an exceptionally vigorous, cold-hardy strain of Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) that fruits beautifully across a wide range of climates and seasonal temperatures.
Each bag of spawn contains over 100 durable wooden dowels, providing plenty of living mycelium to fully inoculate three to five logs averaging three to four feet in length. For the ultimate outdoor patch, we recommend using freshly cut hardwood logs such as oak, maple, beech, or walnut.
Care and Maintenance for Long-Term Yields
Once you tap the plugs into place, the holes must be sealed with all-natural wax to protect the mycelium and lock in essential moisture. Place your newly inoculated logs in a shady backyard area exposed to natural rainfall, keeping them safely out of the direct summer sun.
Your outdoor mushroom logs will begin to fruit within one to two years following heavy seasonal rains or a prolonged soaking in water. Once the living mycelium network settles in, the logs will continue to produce bountiful crops of shaggy white mushrooms every spring and autumn until the wood naturally decomposes, providing gourmet harvests for three to seven years!
This traditional log cultivation method is a fantastic backyard permaculture project and makes an incredible gift for DIY gardeners, outdoor survivalists, and homesteaders. Every order includes clear, step-by-step instructions to ensure your project is a success. Order your lion's mane mushroom plugs today and start building your edible backyard forest!
