Understanding Mushroom Growth:
Spores: Mushroom spores are akin to plant seeds, containing genetic material essential for mushroom growth.
Inoculation: Under ideal conditions—dark and damp—spores germinate into mycelium, the mushroom's root system.
Colonisation: Mycelium rapidly forms a network that breaks down substrate into nutrients, fueling growth and expansion.
Fruiting: After weeks of growth, mycelium produces baby mushrooms known as pins, which mature and are ready for harvest.
Now equipped with the basics, let's get started!
Stage 1: Inoculation
Ensure a sterile environment; cleanliness is crucial for successful mushroom cultivation.
Step 1: Choose Your Culture
Opt for a spore or liquid culture syringe of your chosen species.
Step 2: Prepare for Inoculation
Shake the syringe vigorously and attach the sterile needle.
Step 3: Prepare the Bag
Gently squeeze the bag to mix the substrate.
Step 4: Ensure Airflow
Allow filtered air into the bag through the filter patch.
Step 5: Sanitise and Inject
Thoroughly sanitise the injection port and inject the solution into the bag.
Congratulations! Your Mushbag is now ready for incubation.
Stage 2: Incubation
Maintain temperatures between 21-24°C in a dark, warm environment.
Step 1: Monitor Colonisation
Watch for initial signs of mycelium growth.
Step 2: Enhance Colonisation
Mix the substrate when 30% colonised to expedite the process.
Step 3: Await Full Colonisation
Patience as mycelium consumes substrate, forming a solid block.
Stage 3: Fruiting
Prepare for the next phase of mushroom growth.
Step 1: Transition to Fruiting
Carefully remove the colonised block from the bag.
Step 2: Set Up Fruiting Tent
Place the block in a clean, warm area with indirect light.
Step 3: Maintain Conditions
Mist the tent periodically to maintain humidity.
Step 4: Observe Fruiting
Watch for mushroom pins to develop into mature fruiting bodies.
Stage 4: Harvesting
Enjoy the fruits of your labor with these final steps.
Step 1: Harvest Mushrooms
Collect mature mushrooms as they reach optimal size.
Step 2: Prepare for Future Flushes
Prepare for subsequent flushes of mushrooms from the same block.
Follow these steps to maximize your mushroom growing experience with Mushbag, and happy cultivating!
