🫱 How to Use Plug Spawn

  • Simply drill 5/16" holes 1" deep to hammer the plug spawn 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.

📚 Mushroom History

Dating back over 1,000 years, Shiitake was first cultivated during the Song Dynasty (960-1127) in China. The name comes from the Japanese words "shii" (referring to the tree it commonly grows on) and "take" (mushroom). By the 1600s, Japanese farmers developed the log cultivation technique that's still used today. During World War II, Japanese scientists pioneered sawdust block cultivation, revolutionizing commercial production. In the 1970s, it became the first medicinal mushroom to be scientifically investigated for its anti-cancer properties.
