Golden Oak Mushrooms' Logs
Golden Oak Mushrooms provides the mushroom growing industry with sterilised substrates that have been colonised by mushroom mycelium.
Benefits:
The Gourmet and Medicinal Mushroom Logs supplied by Golden Oak Mushrooms offers a unique opportunity to mushroom growers and farmers that:
Have no prior experience with microbiology and sterile culture techniques.
Do not want to establish a laboratory for the inoculation of mushroom cultures.
Are unable to access quality mushroom spawn (seed).
Do not have adequate facilities for the sterilisation of bulk substrates.
Are unable to access suitable substrates for the cultivation of gourmet and medicinal mushrooms.
Features:
The Mushroom logs supplied consist of an organic sawdust medium that is sterilised by steam in a pressure vessel and inoculated in a dedicated HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) Filtered Laboratory. The mushroom mycelium is allowed to colonise the sawdust medium, over a period of 2 – 5 months (species dependant), prior to being delivered to a mushroom grower. The mushroom mycelium is so tenacious, that it holds the sawdust particles together to the extent that it now appears as an artificial log.
The mushroom grower simply removes the plastic covering from the log and places it on the shelving inside the mushroom growing room. The environmental conditions within the growing room (specific light, temperature and humidity levels) trigger the mycelium out of the vegetative stage and into the reproductive phase of producing a fruiting body, or mushroom. The grower is then simply required to harvest and distribute the mushrooms to the chosen market.
 
 
Using the Golden Oak Mushrooms Growing System, a mushroom grower is able to stock approximately 20,000 mushroom logs per 100 square meter facility. Prices are negotiable, subject to volume.
Mushroom Logs sizes: 40cm(length) × 15cm(diameter)
Packaging: 18 logs per carton
