Countertop gourmet mushroom grow kits are back in stock after the holidays!
I am currently gearing up and inoculating the first stages of outdoor spawn for Spring. Garden Giants (Winecaps) and Wood Blewit outdoor spawn kits should be available in early March 2026.
Spring is a great time to inoculate logs, start thinking now about sourcing fresh logs for your inoculation projects. As a reminder, we have small 100 packs of plugs, and for larger projects we have 500 & 1,000 count plug packs that are made to order.
Chicken of the Woods plugs (Laetiporus conifericola) that are native to the Pacific Northwest are available. This species prefers conifer; Hemlock and Douglas Fir. As far as I can tell, I am the only person on planet Earth offering this species as plugs. Available in 100ct, 500ct and 1000ct plugs.
We have a wide variety of oyster species available as plugs, including a variety that I found growing here at the Fungus Farm that we refer to as either Wapato Wild Oyster or just Local Wild Oyster. This native variety is interesting as it fruits in a wide range of temperatures, mainly in the cold Autumn and Winter months. Originally found growing in Cottonwood trees near the Columbia River. Local Wild Oyster prefers hardwood tree species.
Our gourmet mushroom grow kits can be found at Oregon Indoor Organics in Rainier Oregon as well as at Linnton Feed & Seed in NW Portland. Kits and plugs can also be purchased through the website and shipped, there is also a local pickup option available if you wish to bypass shipping. As usual, please reach out with any questions!
I am working on and innovating new products and new mushroom species for 2026, stay tuned!
Be well and please remember to treat yourself and others with kindness!
