Poplar Mushroom Spawn

This is an exciting mushroom to grow but it can

This is an exciting mushroom to grow but it can prove difficult and slow to grow. Initially started on an industrial scale, the method of growing oyster mushrooms on tree tunks is now only used for hobby purposes and we suggest that you start with our mycelium (spawn) which is specially designed for this. General informationInnoculation is possible all year round but it is best to do it between April and June. You can plant out the inoculated trunks from August to October and mushrooms will grow from autumn to spring for three consecutive years. The mushroom production is equal to about 20% of the weight of the green wood used (1/2 in 1st year, 1/3 in 2nd year and 1/6 in 3rd year). Though the wood of all broad leaved trees may be used, the best results are obtained by using Poplar.How to inoculate your tree trunksUse a clean corner of a cool, dark room such as a cellarSpread a clean piece of cardboard on the ground, wet it and sprinkle it with crumbled spawn (do no trample or dirty the spawn)Arran
