Whether you are a beginner yourself or know someone that is interested, this kit provides you with everything you will need to get started. You will receive one 5/16 inch drill bit, one bag of soy wax, one wax dauber, detailed how to instructions, and one bag of your choice of 100 count Shiitake or Blue Oyster mushroom plugs. This is enough to inoculate roughly 12 to 15 feet of log. For plug health, keep refrigerated until ready to use.
