Details: Plug Spawn - Great for first time mushroom log growers. They are usually used for small projects of 1-10 logs, though some log cultivators will use them for larger projects. Inoculation: On Logs - Reishi likes any of the three log methods and colonizes in 12-24 months. It prefers oak and fruits in the summer. After a 1-year colonization period above ground, Reishi logs may be buried under 2 inches of top soil to mimic its natural method of production. Mushrooms will fruit from the logs and emerge from the soil. *NOTE: There are two species of reishi available. Ganoderma lucidum is a species of Reishi that grows only on hardwoods and is genetically different from the species that grows on hemlock trees. Ganoderma lucidum Reishi will not work in hemlock wood! If you wish to inoculate hemlock wood, you must select Ganoderma tsugae Plug Spawn. Ganoderma tsugae Reishi will not grow on hardwoods! Difficulty: Advanced Reishi mushrooms are great for enthusiast growers who have had some success with other species. Reishi works best when fully colonized logs are buried underground. This is a species that is cultivated on logs commercially in Asia. Most commercial producers in North America grow Reishi indoors. Cooking: Not for culinary use but recommended for teas and tinctures. To make a tea, break Reishi into pieces and simmer in water for two hours.
