Inoculation Tools for Mushroom Cultivation
Field & Forest Products Brass Tools
We carry the widest selection of inoculation tools in the industry! Find one that fits your inoculation style.
The Thumb Style Brass Inoculation Tool is domestically produced and is the tool of choice for many growers as it is a one-handed operation. After jamming the tool into sawdust spawn to fill it, the thumb is used to depress the plunger filling the hole with spawn while your other hand is free to hold the log or point out things to your co-inoculators.
The Palm Style Brass Inoculation Tool works as above but it has a heavy-duty spring that is sturdy enough that you will need the palm of your hand to depress the plunger. This is a two handed operation so make sure the logs are straight as crooked logs are difficult to inoculate with this tool.

Okuda Inoculation Tools
These high quality tools are designed for durability and ease of operation and maintenance.
Okuda Inoculation Stick
The Okuda Inoculation Stick is constructed of solid stainless steel and is ergonomically designed for ease of operation. The tool can be adjusted to allow for spawn fill depths that then can be sealed either with wax or foam plugs. This is the only 13.5mm tool we offer that allows for wax to be used as a sealant (see the advantages of using 13.5mm above). Available in 12.5 or 13.5mm diameters.
Okuda Hand Inoculator
The Okuda Hand Inoculator is designed to fill and seal the inoculation site in one pass with the tool having to be refilled after each hole. The spawn is sealed with a foam cap. Using an Express Drill Tool, a two person inoculation crew can inoculate about 16 logs per hour. Available in 12.5 or 13.5mm diameters. This tool is the most cost effective means of inoculation for small to medium sized farms.
Okuda Pegasus Semi-Automatic Inoculation Machine
The Okuda Pegasus is designed for larger farms where thousands of logs are being inoculated each season. This air driven tool will fill the inoculation site in one pass, seal it with a foam cap, and refilled for the next inoculation site so the inoculation motion is non-stop. An option is also available that will allow for a wax seal, but this then adds another step to the process. A crew of two people, with one person drilling logs with the Express Drill Tool and the other inoculating with the Pegasus (foam cap option), can inoculate about 45 logs per hour! Available in 13.5mm diameter. The Pegasus requires a 2 HP air compressor to run efficiently.
