Bio- luminescent mushrooms has anyone used them?

[Louis Charles Bruckner]

I am planning on setting up my old whites set up for darts
and I found a Bio-luminescent mushroom Kit online and it seems like a pretty east thing to do
but it will take time to get results. 3 months.

The kit says that the best logs are hardwoods and the greener the better. (meaning fresh cut)
and even soaking in water over night is recommended.

The kit I bought has a set of inoculated wood plugs and plain paraffin wax candle.
You drill 1 inch deep holes with a drill bit that is slightly larger than the plug.
in a diamond pattern on the log then tap in the plugs flush with the log surface and once done.
you can melt the wax in a small pot and brush the wax on the log to cover the plugs to seal in
the moisture.

So anyone here have any experience with these.
I am sure they are safe for frogs and that is why I would like to use them for darts
as darts are small and may not damage the mushrooms. Like larger tree frogs.

The 3 months will give me time to get fruit fly colonies established
I will reserve those questions for the feeder forum.

I have a maple tree that needed to be trimmed so I cut a 3" diameter branch that was too low to the ground
that it caused problem when mowing the grass.

I have it soaking in water now. And to morrow I am going to set up the terrarium.

ANd I need to put the drill battery on charge tonight LOL

i have seen them used Louis, but never used them myself. i just chose to make mushrooms out of oven bake clay. maple will definitely work for it though. take pics of the progress, if you don't mind, i would love to see how they are planted/installed.

I have my exo terra 24 X 18 X 36 set up with no lights
Just heat pads and a reptifoger and a hygotherm set to 75F and 80% RH

I have 3 inches of gravel with a lot of stones to hold heat.
I placed the inoculated log in the terrarium and now I am going to ignore it
for a month but keep the water in the fogger.

The instructions say it can take up to 3 months to actually see any growth.

Not much to look at but I will take a picture.

I did scrub the log clean after let it soak. Since it had splotches of lichen on it and
I didn't want the log getting over run by anything else but the intended fungi.

Update:
After 2 weeks ( seems longer) of having the inoculated log in the enclosure At 77F and 80% RH
Tonight I got up to answer the call of nature and noticed pale green glowing dots in the enclosure.
I opened the doors and every place where I drilled and hammered in a plug was glowing green!!!
Not terribly bright but non the less glowing and 2 hrs after lights out! WOOT

Very cool! I'm curious to see how long they last once they grow out.

love to add those but Amazon won't ship those lil fungi to me
Guess i have to go over to the states and smuggle some for myself...

Here is a pict of the setup.
Again not much to look at as this is to only incubate the fungi.
Nothing else is living in there.
I have two heaters on the side. No lights
With a zoomed reptifogger and hygrotherm keeping things nice and cozy for the fungi.

I put all the rocks I had on the sides to act a heat capacitors.
So the heat would be some what stable.
The fogger runs maybe once or twice a day.
I also put plastic wrap on the top to keep the humidity and heat in.
