North Spore 100 ct. Organic Chicken of The Woods Mushroom Plug Spawn

GROW MUSHROOMS ON LOGS: Mushroom plugs work best for small to medium log inoculation projects. 100 count packs are usually enough for 1-2 logs. 500 count are usually enough for 7-10 logs. 100% MADE IN USA: In-house mushroom spawn production. Made in Maine from the highest quality cultures by expert Mycologists. TOOLS YOU WILL NEED: To grow on logs using plug spawn, you will need a drill bit, log sealing wax, and wax daubers.
