What You Receive 10 colonized glow plug spawn Step-by-step log inoculation instructions Educational booklet about bioluminescence No laboratory equipment required just a suitable hardwood log and basic tools. How It Works Drill holes into a hardwood log, insert the plugs, seal, and allow the fungus to colonize the wood. As the mycelium spreads, it produces a natural glow visible in dark conditions. Brightness increases over time as colonization expands and during fruiting. Colonization and fruiting typically occur within 15 months depending on conditions.
