For ALL Techniques and products, please make sure everything is sterilized properly and frequently!!!!!!!

Grow Bag (Straight From Bag Technique)

1 . Inject Spores/Liquid Culture into injection port located in the lower half of the grow bag.
2. Place grow bag in a dark place such as a box or closet where no light will seek in.
3. Wait for mycelium to colonize about 50% of the mix and break & shake bag to spread mycelium faster.
4. Once mycleium is about 100% colonized, cut the top of the bag open to ventilate air.
5. Use a paper clip(s) to close bag opening, and open twice daily to allow fruiting block to get air.
6. Place bag in a place where it will receive sunlight for at least 12 hours
7. Mist interior of bag twice daily.
8. Wait for mushrooms to grow and harvest them by pulling them out lightly of block.

 

Grow Jar Instructions (Cake Technique)

1. Inject Spores/Liquid Culture into grey injection port on lid.
2. Place jar into dark place such as a closet or a closed box.
 3. Wait for mycelium to colonize 100% contents of jar.
4. Take colonized cake out of jar and put into a closed container/bag filled with cold water and place into a fridge for 12-24 hours.
5. After 24 hours, place cake(s) into humidity dome/monotub, with a layer of perlite on the bottom of container after being misted with water.
6. Place container into a place where it will receive indirect sunlight for at least 12 hours day, make sure to mist cake & entirety of container twice everyday with water. Use a hygrometer to make sure humidity in container is at least 99% and temperature  is between 70-76 degrees Farenheit.
7. Once mushrooms have fully fruited, pull and twist mushrooms out of cake to harvest.
 

Spawn & Substrate Bags (Bulk & Casing Technique )

1. Inject Spores/Liquid Culture into the Spawn Bags through the injection port on the lower part of the bag.
2. Place spawn bag in a dark place such as a box or closet where no light will seek in.
3. Wait for mycelium to colonize about 50% of the mix and break & shake bag to spread mycelium faster.
4. Once Spawn bag is a bout 100% colonized cut top of bag off.
5. Take Substrate bag and spread half of the contents into the bottom of your monotub/humidity dome.

6. Mist Substrate with water. 
7. Take colonized spawn and break it up on top of the bottom layer of substrate.
8. Mist colonized spawn layer with water. 
9. Take other half of substrate bag contents and put on top of colonized spawn layer.   
10. Mist top layer with water. 
11. Mix Contents and flatten substrate spawn mix out
12. Place aluminum foil over tray/container and place in dark place until mix is fully colonized.
13. Once mix if fully colonized, remove aluminum foil and place container in place where it will receive indirect  sunlight for at least 12 hours day.
14. Place  a hygrometer and make sure container keeps 99% humidity by misting twice a day with water as well as keeping temperature at 70-76 degrees Fahrenheit 
15. Wait for mushrooms to pin and eventually fruit out of mycelium.
16. Once mushrooms have fruited, twist and pull mushrooms out of mycelium gently to harvest

Grow Jars & Substrate Bags (Bulk & Casing Technique)

1. Inject Spores/Liquid Culture into the Grow Jar(s) through the grey injection port on the top of the lid.

2. Place Grow Jar(s) in a dark place such as a box or closet where no light will seek in.

3. Once jar is a bout 100% colonized, take cake out of jar and place into bag/closed container with cold water and place in fridge for 12-24 hours.

4. Take Substrate bag and spread half of the contents into the bottom of your monotub/humidity dome.

5. Mist Substrate with water. 

6. Take colonized cake and break it up on top of the bottom layer of substrate. (you can use a cheese grater to make this part easier as well)

7. Mist colonized spawn layer with water. 

8. Take other half of substrate bag contents and put on top of colonized spawn layer. 

9. Mist top layer with water. 

10. Mix Contents and flatten mix out

11. Place aluminum foil over tray/container and place in dark place until mix is fully colonized.

12. Once mix if fully colonized, remove aluminum foil and place container in place where it will receive indirect  sunlight for at least 12 hours day.

13. Place  a hygrometer and make sure container keeps 99% humidity by misting twice a day with water as well as keeping temperature at 70-76 degrees Fahrenheit.

14. Wait for mushrooms to pin and eventually fruit out of mycelium.

15. Once mushrooms have fruited, twist and pull mushrooms out of mycelium gently to harvest.

Bubble Wrap Technique (Bulk Casing Method)

1. After completing any of the variations for the bulk and casing method, before you see pins, take a sheet of bubble wrap that will fit nicely into your container.
2. Mist wrap and place bubble wrap so the bubbles are touching the colonized mycelium.
3. Tape the corners of wrap to the containers.
4. Once you see pins coming from mycelium, remove bubble wrap.
