What happens here

Begin by gathering all necessary materials. You'll need shiitake mushroom plugs (shown in a bag from Funguy's, labeled 'Wide Range Shiitake Dowels'), fresh-cut live logs (the video specifies 4-5 feet long and suggests white oak performs better than maple, emphasizing 'not old, dry, or dead logs'), a drill, a drill bit suitable for the mushroom plugs, and electrical tape. Use one of the mushroom plugs to mark the required drilling depth on your drill bit by wrapping electrical tape around the bit at the appropriate point.

Goal: Prepare all components and tools for log inoculation, ensuring correct drill depth.

Tools and materials

  • Drill Bit — Creating holes in the logs that match the size of the mushroom plugs
  • Drill Milwaukee — Drilling holes into the logs for the mushroom plugs
  • Electrical Tape — Marking the desired drilling depth on the drill bit
  • Fresh-Cut Logs N/A — The substrate for mushroom growth
  • Shiitake Mushroom Plugs Funguy's — Introducing shiitake mycelium into the logs

What they say

Hide

All right, guys. This is a bag of shiakei mushroom plugs. And that's what they look like right there. We're getting ready to put them in these logs. And each one of these logs is about 4t long. Four to 5 ft long. And this is a shiakei mushroom plug. So, we're going to take our drill. We're going to mark the depth that we need on our drill bit with a piece of tape. Just that simple. And then we're going to drill into our logs just like that. Probably
