Mushroom Growing: instant do it yourself substrate

Instant bag do it yourself substrate

Instant substrate in a HEPA-filterbag, not inoculated, with additional growbag.

DURABLE! Suitable for worldwide shipping!

To grow mushrooms with this product, you will need:

either: one spore vial, 2 sterile syringes with sterile cannulas and 2 alcopads or other disinfectant, as well as one sterile nutrient

or: one inoculated spawn bag

How to grow mushrooms with this product

Using the inoculated spawn bag:

1. Wait until the spawn bag is mostly white!

2. Take the substrate bag, add 560 ml (3000ccm bag) / 280ml (1500ccm bag) or 140ml (750ccm bag) of bottled drinking water, close the bag with a tape, leave it at room temperature for about 24 hours. NOT much more or less!

3. Cook it for 2 hours in a normal pot or for 45 minutes in a steam pressure cooker (preferred method). In a pressure cooker, put some plate inside the cooker in the way that the bag is not swimming. In a normal pot, place the top of the bag between pot and lid so that the bag is swimming but the filter is showing upwards and not under water.

4. Once cooled down, remove the tape, keeping the bag closed. Take a sharp clean knife, cut the spawn bag open and let the spawn fall inside the cooled down substrate bag.

5. Use tape to airtight seal the substrate bag in the way all air has to pass the filter, then mix the spawn with the substrate keeping the bag closed. If you need more air inside the bag, blow air through the filter!

6. Wait until all substrate is grow through. This may take 1-3 weeks depending on the temperature, 26°C is ideal.

7. Lower the temperature to below 25°C and let some UV-light or indirect daylight shine on the Magic Cake inside the bag. Do not open the bag!

8. Wait until the mushrooms have grown inside the bag and the first are starting to open their caps. Now cut the bag open so you do not destroy the Magic Cake or mushrooms, but the bag. Harvest the mushrooms and place the cake into the spare bag. Add some water. Use a clip to close it.

9. After 24 hours, open the bag, pour the surplus water out of the bag, close the bag with a clip and continue with step 7.

You may harvest 2, 3 or more flushes that depends on multiple factors that cannot be predicted.

To grow mushrooms with this way, you will need one inoculated spawn bag.

-------------------------------------------

Using spores:

1. Step: use a syringe with cannula to inoculate the spores into the sterile liquid nutrient. Use disinfectant like the alcopads to wipe the lids clean and use a sterile packed syringe and cannula.Keep inoculated liquid at temperatures between 22°C and 28°C

2. Wait about 10-14 days until the spores have germinated and you can see white filaments (mycelium) in the liquid.

3. Take the substrate bag, add 180ml of bottled drinking water, close the bag, let it sit for about 24 hours.

4. Then cook it for 2 hours in a normal pot or for 45 minutes in a steam pressure cooker (preferred method). Do NOT open the bag!

5. Once cooled down, use a syringe with cannula to inoculate the substrate with the liquid culture you made. Disinfect the bag at the place you want to prick the needle in, inoculate swiftly and close the prick hole with some tape, as fast as possible afterwards.

6. Now keep the inoculated bag at temperatures below 29°C, do not open it! It will turn white after about 2 weeks.

7. Lower the temperature to below 25°C and let some UV-light or indirect daylight shine on the Magic Cake inside the bag. Do not open the bag!

8. Wait until the mushrooms have grown inside the bag (4-8 weeks after inoculation) and the first are starting to open their caps. Now cut the bag open so you do not destroy the Magic Cake or mushrooms, but the bag. Harvest the mushrooms and place the cake into the spare bag. Add some water. Use a clip to close it.

9. After 24 hours, open the bag, pour the surplus water out of the bag, close the bag with a clip and continue with step 7.

You may harvest 2, 3 or more flushes that depends on multiple factors that cannot be predicted.

Substrate inoculation

The cleaner your surroundings are, the better your chances of creating a successful, contamination-free myco-culture.

• clean injection site of the substrate bag and the lid liquid culture with disinfectant
• With a sterilized syringe, retract 10ml from the liquid culture
• Inject suspension, through the bag, placind the alcopad on the hole immediately
• Retract another syringe (10ml) and try to use the same hole or a new just very close to the old one so the alcopad covers both.
• Fill all liquid culture into the bag. 
• Use a piece of tape to close the hole(s): remove the alcopad covering the hole(s) and instantly use freshly unwinded tape to tape over the hole(s).
  
• Shake the bag around to spread the liquid culture in the substrate
• store the bag in a dark place with temperature between 24°C and 28°C

  Mycelium will start to grow and gradually take over the whole bag. Depending on your room temperature, this can take 2-3 weeks.  

Growing Magic Mushrooms

Keep the bag closed until you want to harvest your first flush! If it does not stand upright, blow some air into the bag by pressing your lips on the filter and gently blowing air inside. Let it stand at a place with indirect sun light or artificial UV-rich light.

To grow mushrooms this way, you will need one spore vial and 2 sterile syringes with cannulas as ell as one sterile liquid nutrient 25ml.
