FAQs

<h2>FAQs: Mushroom Log Beginner Bundle</h2> <ul> <li> <strong>1. What types of mushrooms can I grow with this kit?</strong><br> The bundle is designed for use with <strong>plug spawn</strong>, which typically includes popular log-grown varieties like Shiitake, Oyster, and Lion's Mane. Check the plug spawn label or selection when purchasing—this kit works with any plug spawn sized for 8.5mm holes. </li> <li> <strong>2. How many logs can I inoculate with this bundle?</strong><br> You can inoculate <strong>10 to 20 hardwood logs</strong>, depending on their size. Smaller logs use fewer plugs; larger logs take more. It’s a great scale for beginners who want to experiment without diving into full-scale production. </li> <li> <strong>3. How long until mushrooms start growing?</strong><br> Most log-grown mushrooms take between <strong>6 to 18 months</strong> to begin fruiting, depending on the species and environmental conditions. It's a slow and steady process—but once they start, you'll enjoy harvests for years. </li> <li> <strong>4. Can I grow mushrooms indoors with this kit?</strong><br> While the plug spawn method is best for outdoor hardwood logs, you can move inoculated logs into a <strong>shaded porch, garage, or basement</strong> to control moisture and temperature. However, this kit isn't meant for countertop or bag-style indoor growing. </li> <li> <strong>5. Do I need any extra tools?</strong><br> Everything you need is included, even the drill bit. Just add <strong>fresh hardwood logs</strong> (like oak or maple) and a power drill, and you're set. The included wax and applicators help protect the plugs and keep moisture in—essential for healthy colonization. </li> </ul>
