Discover the joy of growing your own fresh mushrooms with the Ready to Grow Log Mushroom Kit. Each kit contains 30 inoculated timber dowels housed in a sterilised plastic grow bag with a breathable filter patch, alongside a sponge applicator and wax to protect your logs. Complete with a full set of detailed growing instructions, branded sleeve, and postage box, this kit is everything you need to start your mushroom-growing journey at home.
Patience is key—expect to see your first mushrooms between 9 months and 1.5 years after inoculation. Once fruiting begins, you can enjoy harvesting fresh mushrooms for up to five years. To support healthy growth, keep your mushroom logs moist by watering regularly, especially during dry spells. Protect your logs from direct sunlight and harsh winds to create the ideal environment for thriving mycelium.
For best results, use the dowels within eight weeks of delivery or store them in the fridge if you’re not ready to inoculate straight away. Choose hardwood logs felled within the past 4–6 weeks, about 50cm long and 10–18cm in diameter, with intact bark and edges. An 8mm wood drill bit is required for inoculation. This kit offers a rewarding and sustainable way to grow your own mushrooms year after year.
Select your type of mushroom - Grey Oyster, White Oyster, Nameko, Lion's Mane or Shiitake!
