The plugs can be refrigerated for up to 6 months, ensuring flexibility and freshness. ## Description Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) produces large, bright orange, multi-layered fruiting bodies with a texture reminiscent of chicken. When cooked, these mushrooms are juicy, succulent, and meaty with a mild, lemony aroma. Chicken of the woods can be difficult to cultivate and is therefore recommended for enthusiast growers who have had some success with other more advanced species or are looking to experiment and try new methods. Because this species is not a strong competitor, it requires a different cultivation strategy and works best when logs are steam sterilized, incubated and colonized in filter patch bags, then removed from bags and partially buried in a shaded spot. Inoculation: Chicken of the Woods does best in oak logs. After colonization period in filter patch bags above ground, logs should be partially buried under 2 inches of topsoil. The mushrooms will fruit from logs and emerge out of the soil. *It should be noted that Chicken of the Woods is prone to being out-competed by other fungi and is not a reliable producer without first treating your logs. To limit variables, we strongly suggest you sterilize 8" by 8" segments of oak log in a pressure cooker or steam sterilizer before inoculation and incubate your log segments for a few months in sealed filter patch bags until they are completely colonized. Remove them from the bag and partially burying them in a shady location You can sterilize your log segments in a 22 qt or larger pressure cooker such as an All-American pressure cooker. Spawn is living and perishable. If you don't plan to use immediately, you can refrigerate your spawn for up to 6 months. ## Features - GROW MUSHROOMS ON LOGS: Mushroom plugs work best for small to medium log inoculation projects. 100 count packs are usually enough for 1-2 logs. 500 count are usually enough for 7-10 logs. - 100% MADE IN USA: In-house mushroom spawn production.

What’s an ideal configuration?** A: Chicken of the woods is a hard mushroom to grow and definitely needs some special considerations. One way to do it is the pasteurization/sterilization method outlined on the product page and plug pamphlet on our website: https://northspore.com/collections/plug-spawn/products/chicken-of-the-woods-plug-spawn Another way to increase success is likely just a super high spawn rate. So, I'd probably put all these plugs into one log. You would colonize a log like this just as you would a shiitake log, but for fruiting you would want to at least partially bury the log (a trench is good). https://northspore.com/pages/grow-mushrooms-on-logs-videos Please check out those links and let me know if you still have questions!
