Cultivating your own King Oyster Mushrooms becomes a seamless and rewarding experience with this King Oyster Plug Spawn. Crafted from wood dowels inoculated with the King Oyster Mushroom species mycelium, these plugs serve as the foundation for growing mushroom fruiting bodies on freshly cut logs or stumps. To initiate this process, select hardwood logs such as Alder, Ash, Birch, Bitternut, Cherry, Chestnut, Hophornbeam, Ironwood, Maple, Oak, Pecan, Sweetgum, Sycamore, Tulip poplar, Walnut, or Willow. Notably, King Oyster Mushrooms do not flourish on conifers.

The cultivation process is straightforward: drill 5/16″ holes 1″ deep into the logs and hammer the King Oyster Mushroom plugs into these holes. Ensure the holes are drilled just before plugging and spaced about 4″ apart. Optimal logs should be approximately 6 inches in diameter and four feet long, freshly cut within the past 20 days. It’s advised to avoid logs with missing or split bark, seeking unpenetrated logs, except on the sides they were cut.

Extend your cultivation possibilities by using King Oyster Mushroom Plug Spawn on live trees, strategically placed down branches where pruning is planned later.
