2funguys Spawn and Wax Combo - Shiitake Mushrooms Mushroom Mycelium Plug Spawn - 100 Count Plugs - 3oz Wax Grow Edible Gourmet & Medicinal Shitake Fungi On Trees & Logs

Q: Will these work on 4 year old logs, bark still attached, that previously had been used for mushrooms but they've stopped growing?

I would be cautious. In my opinion (I’m no expert) I would be concerned that the mushroom flushes you’d eventually get may be from another colony of unidentified or possibly poisonous variety. I cut down a tree, wait 3 weeks for the trees natural enzymes which prevent fungal growth to break down and then inoculate those logs. This way I can be reasonably sure the shiitake mycelium gets there first and lessens the possibility of some other not so edible variety showing up. Again I’m no expert which is why I don’t trust my ability to identify mushrooms by sight alone. My logs sit in a damp dark part of my woods where all sorts of nasty fungi grow, at least I can be reasonably sure that the mushroom that looks like a shiitake growing from the hole I put a plug in, is in fact a shiitake.

Q: do they reproduce or have to ise more pligs for more mushrooms?

Set up correctly, the fungus colonize the log, thereby allowing it produce mushrooms for years to come.

Q: Can you use candle wax to cover the openings?

I bought this kit a while back, followed the instructions, the whole project was a failure. The wax they provide is candle wax. (paraffin) If I were to do it again I would use beeswax.
