How too plant Shiitake Mushroom plugs..this works!
What happens here
Melt the paraffin wax in a tin can using a torch. Once the wax is liquid, use a foam brush to dip into the melted wax and then dab it over each inserted mushroom plug. This layer of wax seals the plugs, protecting the mycelium from drying out, insects, and other contaminants, allowing it to colonize the log effectively.
Goal: Protect the mushroom mycelium by sealing the plugs.
