How does the kit work?
Growing mushrooms at home has never been simpiler:
-
Place the kit in a room with natural light
- Cut a hole in the side
- Spray with water
- Sit back and watch the mushrooms grow
Our role:
- We pasturise waste coffee, straw, and woodchip to remove any other fungi living on the growth medium
- We then inncoluate the mixture with grey oyster mushroom spawn
- The mixture is then incubated in our farm for two weeks until the mushroom spawn has colonised the mixture
Detailed instructions
- Cut a hole in the box around the dotted line and then cut a ‘X’ in the plastic bag underneath.
- Place the kit in a room with natural light
- Using a spray bottle, water the kit once per day and wait 7-10 days for the mushrooms to grow
- When the mushroom caps start to flatten, they are ready to pick - visit our Instagram and Facebook pages to see examples
- Pick the mushrooms by twisting or cutting them where the stem meets the block
- To maximise the growth of successive crops, remove the block from the cardboard box, soak in a bucket of water overnight, drain and return to the box.
- Each kit produces approximately 500 – 600g of mushrooms over several crops
