Chestnut Mushroom - Châtaignier

Chestnut mushroom is a heavy fall fruiter with a long intermittent fruiting period at temperatures of 40 to 65° F. Successfully inoculated logs will bear chestnut mushrooms for several years.

Use sawdust spawn for faster spawn run to inoculate your grow bags and logs. 

Use more durable plug spawns to inoculate logs. For a log of 40'' x 4'' use 50 plugs.

Use liquid culture to inoculate sterilized grain in the ratio of a minimum of 15 mL for 4 lb. of grain.

Ready-to-fruit blocks will produce a few harvests of 1 lb. of chestnut mushrooms.
