7. An outdoor mushroom log growing kit
Do you know a tinkerer, someone who enjoys tactile crafts, or likes to invest in long-term projects like beer brewing? Maybe a family member with a cabin in the woods, or is pretty resourceful? Growing mushrooms on logs is one of the easiest and most satisfying ways to grow edible mushrooms at home. Logs live outdoors in shady parts of the garden (eat your heart out you finicky tomato beds!) and will produce mushroom flushes after rainfall for several years.
Our outdoor mushroom log kits have everything your loved one needs to inoculate several logs. We recommend starting with Shiitake, but Oyster varieties such as Blue, Italian, and Snow are also great for beginners!
8. An all-in-one mushroom grow bag
Have a friend or family member who is interested in growing mushrooms discretely at home? We've got them covered! Our ShroomTek all-in-one mushroom grow bag contains a blend of fortified substrates to optimize successful growth in manure-loving species of mushrooms. All that is left to acquire is a spore syringe or liquid culture of your loved one's favorite dung-loving species.
With the ShroomTek, there is no need for mixing substrates or fancy equipment and the bag serves as a miniature growing chamber. The process is simple: clean your workspace and syringe, inject your spores or culture into the bag, and wait! After a short time, mycelium will colonize the substrate and subsequently, a beautiful canopy of mushrooms will emerge!
9. A set of log inoculation tools
Know somebody who grows mushrooms on logs using sawdust spawn? Help them level up their growing game with tools to make inoculation a breeze. Our trio of log inoculation tools has them covered.
Thumb-press log inoculation tools are for injecting sawdust spawn into holes drilled on logs. They feature a sturdy ergonomic hand grip and a spring-loaded thumb press for single hand use, allowing the other hand to steady the log during inoculation. With regular cleaning and proper storage, it should last for many years.
Angle grinder adapters increase the speed of the log inoculation process 4x by allowing you to use our specialized mushroom drill bits on an angle grinder (angle grinders run at much higher RPMs than hand drills!). Specialized stainless steel drill bits are used to drill holes into logs prior to inoculation with mushroom spawn. In addition to speeding up the process, they also ensure that each hole is an identical size and depth.
