Waxing plugs?
    #21808474 - 06/14/15 10:06 PM (9 years, 7 months ago)

I'm new at the mushroom growing thing.  There is one thing I don't understand fully.  I noticed that they say to wax over holes once the plugs are put into place.  Does it matter what wax I use?  I noticed some places sell cheese wax or soy wax.  Can I use regular candle wax?  How do the mushrooms grow out of the holes after you wax them shut?  Aren't they sealed pretty tight?  Can someone help me out please?

You may want to ask this in the edible and medicinal forum because... well, most people in this forum just grow cubensis and exotic psilocybes and I've never heard of those requiring wax or using plugs.  http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Board/13

It basically seals the plug into place. I've never tried it, but I don't think it matters.

Which species are you trying to do?

BTW, that was the 3rd hit on Google when I typed in "What type of wax for Shiitake log." Don't be so lazy.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.

Parafin or bee wax. Gourmet and medicinal forums have more serious posters for these species. We're all about magic shrooms here
