Product Utility Guide: We recommend using approximately five ounces of sealing wax per bag of 100 count mycelium plugs.

Why Log Sealing Wax is Essential for Success

When you plant mushroom plug spawn into freshly cut logs or tree stumps, sealing the open drill holes is the most critical step of the entire process. Applying our specialized soy sealing wax seals in essential internal log moisture while defending the vulnerable mycelium against competing wild molds, wood boring insects, and drying winds.

Because soy wax maintains an elastic bond with the bark, it expands and contracts naturally with changing outdoor humidity levels, ensuring a tight seal that paraffin wax simply cannot match.

Safe Melting and Application Instructions

Our natural soy wax features a low melting temperature of 185 degrees Fahrenheit. This low melting point allows it to liquefy quickly and safely using basic home tools. For the easiest application, melt the wax in a dedicated container like an old pan, a clean tin can, or a small crockpot over low heat.

Once fully melted, use a small applicator brush or wax dauber to coat each plugged hole completely. Take great care during the heating process to avoid overheating the wax. Detailed safety guidelines and application steps are outlined directly inside our master mushroom log tools instruction sheets.

Anything purchased after 4pm PST Thursday will be shipped the following Monday. Please note that overnight and/or expedited shipping times refer to the time something takes to ship according to the shipping method, rather than the time it takes to send an order.

We send out orders as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that any mushroom kits or spawn will need to be protected from extreme cold and heat. Mycelium (the base of the mushrooms) is alive and should not be left out in the sun or snow. Please be ready to accept your order as it arrives.

What are the key ingredients to growing mushrooms successfully?

High humidity, indirect light, a good amount of fresh air, and temperatures ranging from 55-75 degrees F. For more information, check out our page on growing mushrooms.

Works well

The wax was easily melted and one bag was enough to seal more than 100 plugs. I just put the wax into a can, and the can in a pot with water and heated it on the stove until the wax melted.

Cascadia sealing wax

Cascadia sealing wax was easily melted and brushed onto Shiitake plugs in alderwood logs. I didn't realize how well the sealing wax performed until I swapped stories with friends who used other types of waxes and had nothing but trouble. For instance, wax that was designed to seal wine bottles required long heating times at high temperatures and then proved to be brittle in freezing temperatures. In comparison, Cascadia's sealing wax remained flexible in cold temperatures and adhered to the plugged logs. Cascadia's sealing wax is well worth the price.
