Liquid Fungi 100 Red Reishi Mushroom Spawn Plugs/Dowels to Inoculate Logs or Stumps to Grow Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms - Grown Your Own Ganoderma lingzhi

I purchased a few different mushroom spawn plugs received a few still waiting for a few. As of now this brand is by far the best one yet. I'm still waiting for a few others to come in but out of the ones I did receive, this is the only one that actually came with any type of mycelium inoculations. The others just came with plain wooden dowels. I highly recommend this company for any of your mushroom needs don't play Russian roulette with all these other bogus companies.

My first order was contaminated & was instructed to return it but it was difficult to return this product so couldn't & was charged a bunch. Contaminated order was promptly replaced with another contaminated order. I gave up with a loss.

I have to wait about 18 months to see if any will take. Easy to put in logs.

I'm a mushroom grower and have been for some time. I also usually make my own plug spawn for outdoor grows. I just opened and used about 60 of these in oak logs today an I'm not 100% sure on how they will do. Pro - super, duper colonized. Tons of mycellium. Cons - obviously very old - the plugs were all stuck together in a giant clump that I almost needed a knife to cut apart. Clearly they have been in the bag a very long time judging by the amount of brown metabolites in the bag. The myc is also yellowing, a sign of older material. Reishi is known for having tough myc but this stuff goes a step beyond that. - staining shows a fluid leak out of the air patch - not ideal packaging though air flow is required - no liquid should ever touch the filter patch It will be months before I will be able to tell how well this grows so my fingers are crossed. I *think* the myc should still be viable but if I decide to order live plugs again it will be from another seller - this has been sitting in a warehouse for a LONG time.

This is a set of 100 wooden plugs inoculated with spores to grow red reishi mushrooms. The plugs are meant to be drilled into the side of a tree or dead wood and placed inside to introduce the spores to the wood in order to grow mushrooms. When I opened the package I could see that the entire thing was already colonized with mycelium. This is a good sign for growth and probably a good sign for quality. I am currently waiting for growth after fitting some of the plugs into a log from the fireplace. I can see that mycelium covering the log quickly but I am not seeing any growth, even little hints of the actual mushrooms themselves. I have a lot of faith in this set. It might take a long time to show growth but I wanted to send the review to express that it is definitely the real thing and seems powerful. Conditions have to be perfect for it to grow but coming out of the bag it definitely looks very potent.
