Mycelium de pleurote en forme d'huître biologique

The plugs were full of mycelium and there was definitely 100+ in the bag. Plugged a beech with these and shittake. Will definitely update as time goes by and the spores fly.

they came well packed and clean. I managed to use a sterile swab to inoculate agar plates which all grew clean and vigorously, so I now have clean cultures for the near term; and made slants to preserve. A couple plugs went into grain jars for inside growing over the winter, and the rest went into freshly cut oak logs.

Love NorthSpore’s products and their genetics. Every culture I’ve gotten from them has been as delicious as they are vigorous growers.

These things worked great,

Works great very easy to do

Excellent product, no issues with contamination. Fast colonization after inoculation 👍👍

Excellent product, no issues with any contamination. Plugs fully colonized super fast after inoculated 👍👍

So excited for this! We can wait for our mushrooms to grow!

3rd or 4th set of plug spawn I have bought from NS. I have to say that the mycelium on the plugs looks vigorous AF, I have no doubt these plugs arrived in peak health. Thanks Y'all

Nice and healthy spawn never had any problems with Northspore products

Arrived in timely fashion covered in mycelium and ready for logs

The information for planting the plugs was easily understood. We both enjoyed the whole entire process. We are now waiting mushroom growth. Unsure if we will see any this year or not but like our asparagus we plant and wait. See what nature gives us.

During this last winter, we lost two very old trees (a mimosa and a curly leaf pittosporum). Though I know these are not typical woods to inoculate, they are both hardwood and I thought I would try. The North Spore Chestnut Plug Spawn made inoculating the wood quite easy, particularly since the pittosporum is still standing (cut to 6’ high). It has been about a month since inoculation and a few places where the wax has dropped off, mycelium can be seen spreading through the trunk. That, to me, is success. Now it is up to Mother Nature.

Showed up wet and growing

Plugs looked great, instructions were clear and easy!

The instructions were very detailed and really enjoyed your product magazine as it lists lots of details about mushrooms.

Good instructions and the dowels were COVERED in mycelium so the risk of contamination was low. Quick shipping as well. I love North Spore.

Haven’t done anything but stick em in some logs so we will see!

I got my pellets as expected also my wax through North Spore. Once I got my red oak logs, it was very simple to put together. I used a regular drill and found it easy to inoculate my logs. I have been misting every day but will need to do a follow up review next year. However, North Spore has been very reliable and easy to order from.

The plugs arrived promptly with complete instructions on how to install. I'll need to do a follow up next year, but I did notice after sitting on my desk for 3 weeks, I can see some growth already happening in the bag. These are definitely not duds. I recommend for anyone thinking of getting started growing mushrooms.
