Polyporus sulphureus, "Chicken of the Woods", grows on a variety of hardwoods and softwoods throughout much of North America. Stumps, rather than cut logs, are the recommended site for plugging. Producing a multi-layered, shelf-like mushroom (sometimes called wood conks), Chicken of the Woods has an easily distinguished orange mycelium. Given the right conditions, mushrooms will form in 6-12 months, the stump will begin to decompose, and mushroom crops will form for several years thereafter.
*Taxonomic research has identified our strain as Laetiporus conifericola, a sister species of Laetiporus sulphureus.
An Important Note for our Customers in the Hawaiian Islands
The Hawaii State Department of Agriculture has recently increased their restrictions on the importation of live mushroom mycelium into the islands. This affects the sale of Fungi Perfecti's Indoor and Outdoor Mushroom Patches, Plug Spawn for Log and Stump Cultivation, and Pure Mushroom Spawn and Cultures. Customers in Hawaii wishing to purchase any of these products will need to first apply for and receive an Import Permit from the HSDA Plant Quarantine Branch. Additionally, importation of our MycoGrow™ products is completely prohibited.
If you have further questions, you can contact Fungi Perfecti or speak directly to Amy Takahashi at the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture, 1428 S. King Street, Honolulu, HI 96814. Phone: (808) 973-9560.
