Sawdust Spawn Thumb Press Log Inoculation Tool
Grip dimensions | 4”(L) 1.25”(W) |
Our spring-loaded thumb press log inoculation tool is ideal for injecting sawdust spawn into holes drilled on logs. The ribbed anti-slip handle decreases friction that causes blistering, and the single-hand use design allows the other hand to steady the log during inoculation. With regular cleaning and proper storage, it should last for many years. (Scroll down for care instructions.)
Optional add-ons:
Caring for your inoculation tool:
Sawdust spawn residue can build up in your tool, making it feel sticky or causing the plunger to freeze. If this happens, soak in hot soapy water for 30 minutes, then push down on the head of the tool to loosen any debris.
Periodically check the head of the tool to make sure it is not coming unscrewed. The tool can be tightened by using a large flat head screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver into the groove on the tip, hold onto the head and lightly twist the screwdriver until tight.

A better way to inoculate logs.
I had been using plugs to inoculate logs. This tool makes inoculation easier and more effective.

We're so happy you're enjoying the experience, Malcolm! Thanks for the great review.
Works great!
This was my first time inoculating shiitake logs and the tool was really easy to use. I think it makes the work go much faster than if we had to use a funnel and chopstick. Hopefully it lasts many seasons!
Incolating 100's of logs with this
Great tool, easy to use
Game changer!
This was a game changer for innoculating logs! Sooo much faster with this tool. My only regret is not buying 2!
Well Constructed, Ergonomic, and Easy To Use
This is a very well constructed and easy to use tool. We innoculated 22 new logs this year and I had no problems either one or two handed filling my drilled logs. Definitely worth the investment!
Heavy duty well constructed tool
This thing is made to last! Plastic grip is comfortable and should prevent hand fatigue from long usage. The brass tube is sturdy enough to hold up to vigorous use.
Great Tool
Finally received my order, and used the inoculation tool. The only problem that I had, just a nuisance more than a problem, but the tool got stuck easily in many of the holes, but worked great.
Could not say itany better then Pete
"Y’all, this tool is amazing! Paired with the drill Bit that’s literally made to fit this puppy right into the notch, an unbeatable combo! This made my sawdust inoculation so much quicker. It’s super sturdy and very comfortable to hold."
Right tool for the job
Solidly built, perfect tool for log inoculation.
