What this product is
A 2.5 kg bag of shiitake mycelium in sawdust for inoculating suitable fresh hardwood with the correct tools and clean handling.
It is one stage in a cultivation workflow. Match the material to the chosen mushroom species before opening sterile packaging.
How to use it
Prepare healthy fresh hardwood, drill or punch holes to the dimensions required by the applicator, insert the sawdust spawn and seal every opening with melted soy wax.
Technical details
Weight: 2.5 kg / approximately 4 l; Species: shiitake; Use: compatible hardwood log projects; Requires an inoculation tool and wax sealing.
Clean handling
Disinfect the working surface and use clean hands or gloves. Allow any heat-treated material to cool completely before inoculation. Do not cover the filter and do not reopen the bag merely to inspect it.
Recognising a problem
Healthy colonisation is normally associated with the expected white mycelium. Vivid green, black or orange growth, slime or an unpleasant odour can indicate contamination. Keep the bag closed and isolate it rather than opening it in a living area.
Before you order
Confirm the mushroom species, inoculation material, required bag size and the clean workspace you will use. For a complete first-time gift, choose a ready-to-fruit kit instead.

What’s in the UNGU box?
Inside, you’ll find a pre-colonized substrate block, a humidity bag, and a short growing guide. It’s all packed conveniently and ready for your first harvest.
How to open it properly?
Tear open the box lid where marked. Then, using a clean knife, cut an X-shape into the plastic packaging at the same spot. The block is ready to grow – keep it in the same position as in the box.
Care tips
Mist the block with clean water 2–3 times per day. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts – mushrooms prefer a cool, bright, and humid environment.
Storage tips
If you’re not ready to start growing yet, keep the kit in the fridge (+1 to +5 °C) for up to one month. Important: do not remove it from the bag and store it horizontally.
