Use a clean corner in a cool dark room. Spread clean Cardboard on the floor, dampen and sprinkle with mycelium. Cover with a first layer of poplar logs, place other logs, more mycelium and so on up to a maximum of 5 layers. On the final layer distribute more Mycelium and cover with cardboard. Cover the entire mass with clean cloth, dampen and then cover again with a sheet of polyethylene without sealing it. During the incubation stage (2-3 months) at a temperature between (20-28C) the logs will be covered in a white pleasant smelling patina.
Carry the sown logs to the chosen site for production (Garden, Fields, Undergrowth, etc.) and bury them 2/3 the way down in a sheltered place. Keep the logs damp and they will produce the following autumn until spring for the next 3 years.
