All-in-One Mushroom Growing Kit

Is this everything I need to grow mushrooms or do I need anything else?
A: This is everything you need minus the genetic material. You will need spores or liquid culture to inoculate the bag.


How soon should I use this product?
A: These bags are sterilized and have a long shelf life. However, the sooner you inoculate, the better. You can always buy your spore or liquid culture beforehand so you’re ready to use when the bag arrives.


How should the bag be stored after inoculation?
A: The humidity level should not exceed 99%. The temperature should be between 70-78F, for optimal growing.

How long does it take to see mycelium growth after inoculation?
A: It depends on your growing conditions and spores/liquid culture and type of mushroom, but typically liquid cultures take about 1 - 2 weeks and spores take about 4 - 5 weeks. Could be faster or slower depending on the strain and the viability of the mushroom culture.

How do I know when I can open up the bag?
A: This depends on the strain you are growing. Ideally, you would flush the mushrooms before the mushroom begins to release its spores. Mushrooms tend to release spores after the veil opens and the gills become visible.

Should I use light once the mushrooms start to fruit?
A: You can use light once the mushrooms start to fruit but it’s not necessary, though it could help with the fruiting process.

Is the hole resealable where you inject the spores?
A: The injection port is self-healing, which means it will seal itself so long as the needle you are using is no larger than 16 gauge.


Can I grow multiple types of mushrooms in the same bag?
A: No, it is important to only use one phenotype per bag.

Can I clone a previous flush in the same bag?
A: Yes, you will be able to achieve multiple flushes from one bag. If you choose to clone your genetics it would be best to use them in a new bag.

How many flushes can you get out of one bag?
A: We have seen customers get anywhere from 2-4 flushes on average per bag.


SUBSTRATE & GROWING MEDIUM:
What does this substrate consist of?
A: Our proprietary blend of sterilized millet, coco coir, vermiculite, and gypsum.

Do I need additional fertilizer for this substrate?
A: No, additional fertilizer is not required.

Do I need to separate the substrate from the grains first before inoculating?
A: Our All-in-One Grow Kit is premixed by design. It does not need to be separated before inoculation.


SPORE & STRAIN:
Are the spores included?
A: No, the spores are not included.

Where do I buy the spores?
A: You can buy them online or email us for a list of vendors.

How many CCs of spores do I need?
A: For a 3lb and 5lb bag, we commend 2.5-5 cc’s of spores (depending on the strength and viability of your culture).

Can this bag grow any dung loving mushroom species?
A: Yes
