Description: Inonotus obliquus CHAGA Mushroom Plugs Dowels for Growing Mushrooms on live Birch or Alder tree. You'll receive: 1) 30 Chaga inoculated mushroom plugs (10x40 mm) in microfilter bag. 2) Simple growing instructions. Mushroom plugs, also known as plug spawn, present a convenient and accessible method for cultivating mushrooms on live trees. These plugs can be refrigerated for up to six months and exhibit a low susceptibility to contamination and infections, rendering them an excellent choice for mushroom farming. The process of growing mushrooms on live threes using mushroom plugs does not necessitate any specialized equipment. Follow the below steps to achieve optimal results. Begin by obtaining healthy birch or Alder tree, measuring between 10-40 cm in diameter and 50-100 cm in length. To make spawn holes, choose places on the tree trunk where the bark is thinner. Drill a hole that is 5-10 mm deeper than the mushroom spawn. Make the holes at intervals as high up on the trunk as you can reach. It doesn't matter if the spawn is on the shaded or sunny side of the trunk. The number of spawn depends on the thickness of the tree: for a tree with a diameter of 10 cm, use approximately 3-4 spawns, for a tree with a diameter of 15 cm, use about 4-6 spawns, and for a tree with a diameter of 20 cm, use 8-10 spawns. Rather than increasing the number of spawns, increase the number of trees for cultivation. When installing the spawn, pay attention to sterility. Clean the rubber gloves with disinfectant, place the spawn in the hole, and hit it with a hammer (level with the surface of the tree). Leave one hand free for the mushroom spawn, and occasionally clean the rubber gloves, hammer tip, and drill. Maintaining cleanliness is important to prevent the spread of other fungal diseases and pests to the tree. Waxing the spawn holes favors faster mushroom growth. Wax protects the spawn from drying out and from other fungal diseases and pests that may attack the damaged area. Spawn can be planted all year round. The best time is just before the summer heat (as the heat can cause stress to the tree and the mushroom will thrive better at warmer temperatures). Spawn can withstand the cold and can be planted before winter so that the black poplar can start working immediately with the movement of sap in the wood in the spring. Use open package spawns within the same day to prevent contamination. Use unopened package spawns within the expiration date. Spawns that have been left standing for too long may grow into hard, monolithic pieces that are difficult to break apart later. As the mushroom feeds on and decomposes the wood, the spawns may become soft and make it more difficult to drill the holes after standing for too long.
