FAQs

Do all-in-one mushroom grow bags work? ›

Yes, you can grow mushrooms indoors using a grow bag. Grow bags provide a suitable environment for mushroom cultivation by maintaining ideal humidity levels and allowing proper air circulation. They're designed with a sterile substrate that's enriched with essential nutrients for the mushrooms to thrive.

Colonization. Colonization occurs after inoculation. This is when the mycelium will start to take over the grain that was inoculated with spores. This period usually lasts between 3 to 6 weeks depending on strain and environmental conditions.

Using our bags is simple: inject 5cc of your spores or liquid culture, wait 15-25 days for colonization, then break up the colonized grain and shake the bag. Once the bag re-colonizes, your mushrooms will start growing directly from it.

While some growers report harvests of 10-15 grams of dried mushrooms per pound of substrate in these bags, others might achieve less, often from significant side pinning, and especially in the case of contamination or suboptimal growing conditions.

All you need to do is keep your bag in a warm place inside your house. Between 20 to 24 C is an ideal temperature range. Luckily for most people, that's also around the ambient temperature inside your home.

If the culture doesn't look uniform you may shake it for a few seconds to disperse the mycelium or spores.

You can shake up your mushroom spawn bag when the mycelium has colonized about 40–50 percent of the spawn grain. As mentioned previously, this gives access to non-colonized patches of mycelium. You'll be surprised by how much this simple 30-second action can help your yield.

Alternating between the spawn and substrate allows for faster colonization than putting all the spawn on top. In supplemented sawdust this typically means shaking the substrate after inoculation to distribute the spawn evenly.

All in one mushroom grow bags: Leave in original packaging. Store your all in one grow bag in a cool and dry location. All in one grow bags can keep for up to 3 months in these conditions. There will be no need to rehydrated or sterilize the products a second time.

When To Open. A grow kit generally requires two to three weeks from its production date to colonize fully. Once the mushrooms fruit, tiny mushroom pins begin forming. Opening the bag then not only offers you substantial airflow but also gives the mushrooms room to grow.

How many times can you use a mushroom grow kit? ›

Expect to grow: 2-3 harvests of mushrooms / 150g - 300g

The first flush will always be the biggest. We've had some customers grow up to 4 flushes of mushrooms from our kits but on average you'll get 2 harvests. Once the kit has run out of nutrients and water it will be "spent" and won't produce any more mushrooms.

With that said, the mushroom grow bags are durable and can be used for a long time. When they are filled, the bags have a sturdy stand-up shape and a strong bottom seal while still being breathable. Not to mention, you can reuse them, making these mushroom grow bags an economical option.

The filter allows for the mushroom cultures inside the bag to receive fresh air without passing contaminants like mold spores and bacteria. Without fresh air, the mushroom culture would eventually stop growing, but if the bag were just left open after sterilization, contaminates would quickly take over.

Some of the very best substrates for growing mushrooms in a bag include hardwood sawdust; chopped straw or straw pellets; shredded, woody debris; or a mixture of some of these. Or use a pre-made product like Fast Fruiting Mix.

Spawn bags colonize from the inside out so you will most likely won't see any mycelium growth for 7-14 days. Spawn bags gen- erate their own internal heat while colonizing so the internal temperature of the bag is usually 3-4 degrees warmer.

When the mycelium has grown three to four inches outward from the point of injection, carefully massage the bag to break up the colonized substrate and mix it into the uncolonized substrate. This will dramatically speed up the colonization process.

Store your all in one grow bag in a cool and dry location. All in one grow bags can keep for up to 3 months in these conditions. There will be no need to rehydrated or sterilize the products a second time. If you need to store the product longer it can be refrigerated for up to 6 months and frozen for up to 1 year.

The Right Times To Shake Things Up
