Easily grow your own Turkey Tail Mushrooms for years to come. Turkey Tail Mushroom Plug Spawn is wood dowels inoculated with the Turkey Tail Mushroom species mycelium, and used to grow mushroom fruiting bodies on freshly cut logs or stumps. You will specifically need hardwood logs such as Alder, Ash, Birch, Bitternut, Cherry, Chestnut, Hophornbeam, Ironwood, Maple, Oak, Pecan, Sweet gum, Sycamore, Tulip poplar, Walnut, Willow. Turkey Tail Mushrooms do not grow on conifers.

Simply drill 5/16" holes 1" deep to hammer the Turkey Tail Mushroom plugs into. The holes should be drilled right before plugging them, and spaced about 4" apart. Logs should be roughly 6 inches in diameter and four feet long. They need to be freshly cut, or at least cut within the past 20 days. Avoid using logs with missing or split bark, try to find unpenetrated logs, except on the sides they were cut.

Turkey Tail Mushroom Plug spawn can also be used to grow mushrooms on live trees, but should only be done strategically down branch where pruning is planned later. Our Turkey Tail Mushroom plug spawn is made from hardwood fluted or spiral dowels.
