You mean plugs for inoculating logs?
If yes... you place a lot of plugs in a cardboard box, inoculate with mycellium, wait for several months, stir/take out the colonized plugs and hammer them in pre-drilled holes in the logs.
If you are asking for some other kind of plugs, ignore this :laugh:

Ok, this will not be an extensive info, but just to give you an idea.

You buy something like birch dowels. You soak them well. Then you fill a cardboard box with them and you place inside some mycelium. The easiest way is to place inside some stem buts from the mushrooms you want to cultivate. This is the lowest part of the stem - the part which sits in the substrate. You pick your mushrooms in the usual way, by gently twisting them. When they come off, you cut the lowest part (which ideally will have some mycelium strands still attached). You put these stem buts in you box burying them into the dowels. The more of them, the better. Then you cover the box with a blanket or just put cardboard sheet on top of the dowels, and store it in a moderately warm place (away from the sun). Then you forget about it for months - usually 5-7 months. After that when you open it you will see that a lot of the dowels around the stem buts will be colonized. Take some out and mix the rest thoroughly with the ones which are still not colonized. Use the ones you got out to inoculate logs. The rest will be ready in a month or two.

All this procedure is presented in detail in 'Mycelium Running' by Paul Stamets.

EDIT: Oupss... I didn't see that you opened a new thread about this (you don't need to do that). What Roadkill says is perfectly valid too.
