Le polypore en touffes, également appelé Maïtake (Grifola frondosa), est un polypore succulent à la texture délicate et plumeuse et à la saveur riche et terreuse. Ses bords dentelés en font un excellent choix pour la friture, le rôtissage, le sauté, et l'ajout d'une touche visuelle à de nombreux plats.

Les polypores en touffes conviennent parfaitement aux cultivateurs passionnés qui ont déjà réussi avec d'autres espèces plus avancées. Parce que le polypore en touffes n'est pas un concurrent puissant, il nécessite une stratégie de culture différente. L'inoculation fonctionne mieux lorsque les bûches sont stérilisées à la vapeur, incubées et colonisées dans des sacs à patch filtrant, puis retirées des sacs et partiellement enterrées dans un endroit ombragé.

Utilisation recommandée :

  • Le mycélium sur sciure de polypore en touffes n'est recommandé que pour les projets sur bûches.
  • Un sac de mycélium sur sciure permet d'inoculer de manière fiable 20 bûches.

À la réception de votre mycélium :

Retirez-le de la boîte d'expédition dès que possible. Ensuite, dépliez le haut du sac, en laissant de l'espace pour l'air. Il est également important de vérifier et de confirmer que le patch filtrant n'est pas obstrué. Cela aidera l'organisme à respirer et à continuer à prospérer !

Tools you'll need

To grow on logs using sawdust spawn, you will need a Log Inoculation Tool, Log Sealing Wax, and Wax Daubers. 

For larger log projects you may also want to purchase an Angle Grinder Adapter and specialized 12mm drill bit.

Inoculation

Hen of the woods will only fruit in oak logs. However, it should be noted that hen of the woods is prone to being out-competed by other fungi. For this reason, we recommend the following:

To limit competition and increase the chances of success, we strongly recommend sterilizing 8" by 8" segments of oak log in a pressure cooker or steam sterilizer before inoculation. Incubate your sterilized log segments for a few months in XL sealed filter patch bags until they are completely colonized. After colonization period, logs should be removed from bags and partially buried under 2 inches of top soil. The mushrooms will fruit from logs and emerge out of the soil.

(You can sterilize your log segments in a 22 qt or larger pressure cooker such as an All-American.)

Storing

If you don't plan to use your Hen of the Woods sawdust spawn immediately, you can refrigerate it for up to 6 months.

Cooking

Hen of the woods has a semi-firm texture and earthy flavor. It can be ripped into small pieces and added to a dish or left large to be the centerpiece of a meal. We love to confit hen of the woods by slow cooking it at a low temperature in an oven submerged in extra virgin olive oil. After 4-5 hours the Hen of the Woods will be crispy and delicious and you'll have mushroom infused olive oil!

Ingredients

All our spawn is made using organic cultures from our own culture bank. Our sawdust spawn is handmade from a blend of locally sourced, all-natural, organic, and non-GMO woods and supplements from farms and forests in New England and North America.

Cautions & considerations

If you’re going to consume home-grown mushrooms, make sure to cook your fresh mushrooms thoroughly with heat. If it is your first time eating this species, it is best to start with a small amount to check for allergies, even if cooked.

Sawdust Spawn Frequently Asked Questions

Sawdust spawn is sterilized sawdust colonized with mushroom mycelium. It’s used to inoculate a growing substrate such as logs, wood chips, or outdoor garden beds to start mushroom growth.

It serves as the "seed" for your mushroom crop — transferring live, growing mycelium into your chosen growing medium.

Sawdust spawn is best for outdoor projects like logs, stumps, or garden beds and is slower to contaminate.
Grain spawn is ideal for indoor grows or bulk substrate inoculation because it colonizes faster but is more contamination-sensitive.

Sawdust spawn is mixed or packed into a substrate (like logs or wood chips) to inoculate it. Common methods include:

  • Drilling and filling holes in logs
  • Layering in outdoor wood chip or straw beds
  • Mixing with sterilized sawdust or wood pellets for bag cultivation

Most sawdust spawn performs best on hardwoods like oak, maple, or beech. Some species (like Wine Cap or certain Oysters) can tolerate small amounts of softwood in the mix.
