Can I inoculate hardwood logs with Maitake or Reishi spawn?
Yes you can. Maitake and Reishi mycelium is more aggressive than Shiitake and you can successfully inoculate fresh cut logs, stumps and live trees (preferably near the roots). Since the logs need to be buried as quickly as possible we recommend a higher inoculation rate than Shiitake to achieve a fast, thorough spawn run. An inoculation rate of 8 logs per sheet of plugs ( or less) is advisable.
