Starter Log Grower Kit

Everything You Need to Start Growing Mushrooms on Logs

Want to grow mushrooms outdoors but aren't sure where to start? This kit makes it easy.

The Mushroom Log Growing Starter Kit includes the essential supplies you need to inoculate up to three 4-foot hardwood logs with your choice of Oyster or Shiitake mushroom plug spawn.

Drill the holes, insert the plugs, seal them with wax, and place your logs in a shaded location while the mycelium gets to work.

Once established, mushroom logs can produce seasonal harvests for years, making this a fun introduction to mushroom cultivation and a fantastic gift for gardeners, homesteaders, food lovers, and mushroom-curious humans.

🍄 Choose Your Mushroom

Oyster Mushrooms

• Warm Blue Oyster
• Brown Oyster
• Cold Blue Oyster

Shiitake Mushrooms

• Shiitake Warm
• Shiitake Wild
• Shiitake Wide Range
• Shiitake Cold

Different strains fruit under different temperature conditions, allowing you to choose one that works well with your climate and growing season.

📦 Everything You Need to Get Started

Each kit includes:

• 100+ mushroom plugs of your chosen variety
• Soy wax
• Wax application brush
• 5/16" drill bit
• Complete growing instructions

You'll supply the fresh hardwood logs and a standard drill — we'll supply the mushroom-growing parts.

🌳 Enough for Approximately Three Logs

One kit contains enough plug spawn to inoculate approximately three 4-foot hardwood logs, depending on log diameter and inoculation spacing.

Freshly cut hardwood logs are recommended for the best results.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Drill
Drill holes in your hardwood logs following the recommended spacing pattern.

2. Plug
Insert the colonized mushroom plugs into the holes.

3. Wax
Seal each inoculation hole with melted soy wax to help retain moisture and protect the spawn.

4. Wait
Place your logs in a shaded location and allow the mycelium to colonize the wood.

5. Harvest
Once established, your logs can produce mushrooms seasonally for years.

🎁 A Great Gift for Mushroom Lovers

This kit is a fun hands-on gift for:

• Gardeners
• Homesteaders
• Foodies
• Mushroom enthusiasts
• Nature lovers
• Beginning mushroom growers

No mushroom cultivation experience is required.

⏳ Mushroom Logs Take Time

Log cultivation is a long-term growing method. Unlike indoor fruiting kits, which can produce mushrooms within weeks, inoculated logs typically require an extended colonization period before their first harvest.

The payoff? Once established, your logs can continue producing mushrooms season after season.
