BUILD YOUR OWN
Mini Grow Kit and/or 5 Gallon Bucket
1. PASTEURIZE- Place provided straw in a leak-proof container (large Tupperware or Rubbermaid). Soak straw in 150-165 degree Fahrenheit tap water for 1-2 hours, covered. (*Note: you may need to place a heavy object on top of the straw to keep it under water). Drain water and allow straw to cool overnight.
2. DISINFECT- Wash your hands with soap and water. If available, don a pair of powder-free, vinyl gloves. Wipe down your gloves, your working area, your small container or bucket, your lid, and the outside of your jar of grain spawn with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
3. LASAGNA LAYER- Place a 1-2” layer of your pasteurized straw on the bottom of your container. Add a thin layer of grain spawn. Continue layering until you reach the top, pressing down after each layer of straw. End with a layer of straw on top. Firmly, place your lid on top.
4. COLONIZE- Place your container in a dark area within the colonizing temperature range listed on your jar of grain spawn for 2 weeks and allow the mycelium to colonize the straw.
5. FRUIT- After 2 weeks, place your container in an area with ambient lighting (out of direct sunlight), on a plate or towel, within the fruiting temperature range listed on your jar of grain spawn. Spray the hole(s) 2-3 times daily with tap water. Watch your mushrooms grow!
6. HARVEST- Harvest using a clean, sharp knife, prior to caps flattening out. Cut the back of the cluster of mushrooms flush with the bucket. Cook thoroughly and enjoy! *To increase your chances of getting a second and even a third flush/harvest, remove any remaining pins or mushrooms from the hole(s). Make sure there is no mold or contamination and begin again at step 5. Mushrooms should continue to grow out of the same hole(s). Be patient; the second flush may take several weeks.
7. ENJOY!!
