Product Information

If you are propagating plants, we recommend taking out your plant cuttings after about a month so the roots don't get stuck inside. We will process the personal data you have supplied to communicate with you in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Sorry there are not many pictures for this step, but you can see the whole process in the next step's video. With a lid and inner liner, in a unique mushroom shape, these opaque plastic pots come as a complete unit. Take your syringe filter and on the barbed side (that would fit into a luer lock syringe) put a bead of epoxy on the blue rim of it.

At Midwest Grow Kits, we use only quality ingredients and materials on all our mushroom growing products. With your cooled blade, cut a piece of mycelium out of the agar dish approximately 1 cm x 1 cm, and stab it with the tip of your scalpel. If you are following all proper sterile procedures and still getting contaminated jars, then either the culture is contaminated or the sterilization process for the grains is not effective.Over the next week or so, the mushroom mycelium will work its way through the grain, eagerly devouring the nutrition and moisture held within the grains. At this time you can either add it to a bulk substrate or do a grain to grain transfer to make even more spawn! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

If you’d like to skip all the above steps and purchase our gourmet mushrooms instead, you can find us at the Orange City, IA farmer’s market this summer (2023).Thanks, I know it’s a lot, but the site is awesome and I really think that growing on a budget should be rendered easier with those answer ! The coffee changes the pH a bit and is thought to increase yield, while the gypsum is helpful to prevent the grains from sticking together.

Shaking the jars at this time will evenly spread out the grain, which allows for faster overall colonization. You could actually inoculate masters mix with a culture syringe (spore syringe might not work that well) but results would be less than ideal.

It is possible that the filter discs stayed wet and had some form of nutrition on them- a perfect environment for mold.

Place your scalpel in the flame of the butane torch; when the tip glows red, it has been sterilized.

If you were to use a Syringe filter to inoculate, you would likely filter out much of the mycelium and block up the port but also introduce a good avenue for contamination to ‘wick’ through if that makes sense.One jar can be used to create 10 jars, which can be used to make 100 jars, which can be used to make 1000 jars, all within a few short weeks! Starting from just 1 liter of sterilized grain and a slice of culture from a petri dish, the mushroom mycelium can be expanded to provide more than 1000 liters of spawn. If you forget and a layer of residue has formed—Here's our secret: Pour in half a teaspoon (approximately) of Hydrogen Peroxide and let it rest in their with the plants for 24 hours.
