Definition of Spawn: Spawn is a type of medium present in mushroom tissue that propagates the fungus such as Trichoderma which is the root system of mushrooms. [5] Mycelium, or actively growing mushroom culture, is placed on a substrate—usually sterilized grains such as rye or millet—and induced to grow into those grains.
To produce shiitake mushrooms, 1 metre (3-foot) hardwood logs with a diameter ranging between 10–15 cm (4–6 in) are inoculated with the mycelium of the shiitake fungus. Inoculation is completed by drilling holes in hardwood logs, filling the holes with cultured shiitake mycelium or inoculum, and then sealing the filled holes with hot wax.

This list of bioluminscent fungi has more than 125 known species found largely in temperate and tropical climates. [1] They are members of the order Agaricales ( Basidiomycota ) with one possible exceptional ascomycete belonging to the order Xylariales [ 2 ] (with extremely faint light).
Laetiporus is a genus of edible mushrooms found throughout much of the world. Some species, especially Laetiporus sulphureus, are commonly known as sulphur shelf, chicken of the woods, the chicken mushroom, or the chicken fungus because it is often described as tasting like and having a texture similar to that of chicken meat.
Pleurotus pulmonarius is the most cultivated oyster mushroom (Pleurotus) species in Europe and North America. The most popular varieties for cultivation are the warm weather varieties, often marketed by spawn manufacturers and cultivators under the incorrect name "Pleurotus sajor-caju".
