We recommend 20ml of Gourmet Health Mushroom spores per 4lb Bag.

Designed to work in any home. No other equipment needed. This one is for the pro’s to extract maximum yield for your buck! To keep a consistent temperature, you could use our pre-set temperature controlled mushroom heat mat.

The all in one kit Contains:

1. 50/50 Substrate bag containing 4lbs of Substrate
2. XLS Fruiting bag
3. Sterilised Vermiculite for rolling the cake in
4. Alcohol swab

Substrate mix:

• Brown Rice Flour
• Coco Coir
• Vermiculite
• Horse Manure
• Straw
• Growth supplements
• Gypsum

The Kit is designed to be the next step up in mycology study after practising with the Brown rice flour bags, Pf Tek and Inject and Forget Bags.

Incorporating the benefits of directly injectable brown rice flour substrate in the base of the bag (2lbs) and Hpoo based substrate sitting up top (2lbs), makes for easy and fast colonisation with the added benefit of all the goodness of hpoo to really bring out the flavour/strength of your mushrooms. All mixed together in the safety of one bag meaning that no nasties will enter your substrate mix while you are combining the two substrates.

Mushrooms Grown on Horse Manure based Substrate are larger, stronger and have fuller flavours. After injection with spore solution. The cake will colonise as normal and the mycelium will then grow up into the Horse Manure. To speed up the process I like to wait until the cake at the base is 50% colonised by the mycelium (as seen in the pics above). I then break up the brf cake and mix this around with the Hpoo. When completely mixed up I can then pour this mix straight into my Mono Tub for a bulk grow or I can leave the mix in the bag and find the bag is fully colonised in less than 7days.

When the cake is fully colonised, birth the cake from the bag and fruit this massive 4lbs cake in a Fruiting chamber Or fruit the cake in the INCLUDED Grow bag if you do not want to go through the hassle of building a fruiting chamber. Instruction for bag fruiting can be found below.

The mix is perfectly hydrated too take you from injection all the way to your first flush. The mix comes supplied in 0.5 Micron Filtered incubation bags with Injection Port. The 1st stage bag does not give enough space to fruit mushrooms so we have included a super large XLS fruiting bag to help you out.

To Use (fruiting from the bag):

1. 10ml of spore solution is to be injected into the 50/50 bag via the Black Injection Port at the bottom of the bag. Clean the injection port with the included alcohol swab
2. Place the 50/50 bag some where warm 26-27c. This will allow the spores inside to germinate and the resulting mycelium will start to colonise up the substrate. Colonisation for this method is best done in the dark. We will use the introduction of light in latter steps to induce fruiting of the colonise cake.
3.  Keep the bag in the dark until it is fully colonise and ready to fruit
4. When the mycelium has grown to the size of a tomato or orange, you can now break up the mycelium and try your best to mix all the mycelium through-out the substrate. This will allow the mycelium to fully colonise the substrate at a very fast rate.
5. When the substrate is 95% colonised (mostly white). You can carefully cut away the first stage 50/50 bag and move the Large 4lbs cake into the larger 2nd stage XLS fruiting bag ready for fruiting. Rolling the cake in the provided vermiculite will increase the amount of mushrooms that subsequently grow from the cake. Place the cake into the XLS fruiting bag so it stands tall like a tower with the XLS bags opening at the top. Seal the bag up and add light. Please keep ambient temperature 26-27c. Rolling the cake in Vermiculite is as easy as it sounds and the idea is to end up with a cake that has vermiculite covering all sides. There is no need to soak the cake at this stage. Moving the cake from the 1st stage bag to the 2nd stage bag gives plenty of space for mushroom to grow on all sides of the cake.
6. Dont not open the bag for the first 4days. The closed bag allows for moisture to build up inside the bag and the 4 day period allows the Mycelium to grow up through the vermiculite coating. These two actions are setting you up for a heavy harvest.
7. Day 5 onwards you want to be opening the bags 3 times a day and fanning fresh air into the bag for 40 seconds each time. Sealing the bag back up after fanning. On the first opening of the bag, please spray a little fine mist of fresh tap water onto the insides of the bag. Doing this once in the morning will make a nice moist environment and the 3 fanning sessions a day will provide enough evaporation of moisture to promote a thick and heavy pinset.
8. Continue until pins show. At this point you can stop with the fanning. Misting once in the morning and just leave one corner of the bag open 1 inch all the time to allow for air flow.
9. The Mushrooms will grow happily in the bag until they are mature and ready to harvest.
10. Harvest the mushroom before they start to drop black/puple spores either by reaching into the bag or by sliding the bag down so mushrooms can be removed at will.
11. To get more mushrooms to grow from the substrate. Simply harvest all the mushrooms (leave tiny pins for next time round), leave the cake in the 2nd XLS bag and pour water into the bag from the cold water tap. Add enough water to make the cake float in 1inch of water. Seal the bag and leave for 12hrs. After the 12hr soak. Drain the water from the cake/bag for 15mins.
12. Place back in tower position, close the bag up, lights on and temps 26-27, fans bag tops until pins show and then leave a 1inch air gap for daily air flow until mushrooms are ready to harvest
