These are logs used for shiitake mushroom cultivation for 3-5 years, cut into pieces.
Made from domestic Konara oak logs.
The bark is significantly peeled and quite worn, but how about using them for insect rearing?
As shown in the photos, there are individual differences in size, diameter, length, mycelial penetration, and hardness.
Occasionally, insects may be present.
If this is a concern, please heat-treat the logs before use.

?Size
Length: Approximately 150mm
Diameter: Approximately φ100-75mm

*Hardness varies by individual piece.
