The fruiting bodies of Lampteromyces emit a substance, which reacts with the oxigen in air. This mushroom glwos in darkness geenish, like glowworms.

The inoculation of logs with mushroom cultures can be done during the whole year, if the logs are stored frost-protected while spawn run. According to species, mushrooms will fruit several years, till all nutrients of the wood have been consumed by the fungus. This mushroom grows only on dead wood, healthy trees will not be colonized by this mushroom species!

For a perfect yield, the quality of the logs is essential! Please use hardwood. Let the log dry for approx. 4 – 5 weeks after felling. For inoculation with the dowels the log have been preperated: duck for 3 days in water (log should be complete coverd with water). After this let the log dry for approx. 2 days in the sun. We recommend to use logs (with bark!) diameter approx. 20 -35 cm length 50 bis 80 cm.
