We recommend 20ml of Gourmet Health Mushroom spores per 4lb Bag
Please note that our kits do not come with spore syringes included.
Our Inject and Forget bags are one of the biggest selling kits on our website, and here’s why…
Easy and simple to use.
Simply inoculate your bag, position it upright in a warm place. Keep it in low light conditions from inoculation right up until harvesting your Gourmet health mushrooms.
Protected from contamination.
Unlike other kits, you do not need to fan or mist the bag. This heavily reduces the chances of contamination occurring in your bag! It’s an almost fully automatic process.
Perfect for Beginners
With simple, easy to follow instructions allowing you to inject and forget your project until it’s ready to fruit, this kit is perfect for beginners.
Quick results
For beginners and experts alike, this kit provides quick results. Within 2-3 weeks you’ll have a fully cultivated bag, then in a few additional weeks you’ll be having your first harvest. All without any spraying, misting or lifting so much as a finger. This whole process takes around 35-45 days from inoculation to your first harvest of Gourmet Health Mushrooms.
Multiple Flushes
This bag is not a one and done kit. You should get 2-3 harvests from each inject and forget bag you inoculate with your gourmet health mushroom spores. It’s as simple as adding a cup full of water and sealing the bag back up again with our small easy glide bag sealer! It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
How Do I get Started?
- Start off by preparing your work surface. Give it a wipe down with some 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Spray. Using an incubation chamber? Give it a wipe down too! Let these surfaces dry and do not spray anything near/on your inject and forget bag as it could damage the integrity of the filter patch.
- Turn on your heat source and ensure it gets up to temperature. Your project should be kept between 26-27c. If using one of our 60L all in one fruiting and incubator’s, you don’t need to change any settings as it come’s preset. Simply plug in and play!
- Wash your hands then remove your bag from its protective outer plastic bag. Be careful not to touch the air filter too much as the oils from your hands can affect its integrity.
- Pop your Gourmet Health Mushroom syringe out of its silver foil packet, keeping the end cap secured until you’re ready to use the syringe.
- Open your needle packet from the top, remove the end cap from your needle and insert the syringe into the needle, careful not to trigger the plunger early. Keep the protective cap on the needle until you’re ready to inoculate (we’re not there yet!).
- Take out your alcohol wipe that comes with your bag and wipe the injection port of your bag (the small grey square sealed in plastic). You do not need to wipe or heat the needle as it’s a gamma irradiated, NHS grade needle. Therefore, sterilizing it further can cause contamination. Leave this to dry for a few seconds.
- Gently shake your syringe against your hand to shake up the spores. No spores should be left behind!
- Once you feel ready, take the protective cap off the end of the needle, and inoculate the bag. Ensure to tilt the syringe so it’s slightly angled downwards as you press the needle into the injection port, stopping halfway into the port. Push down the plunger and release your spores into the bag. If your plunger is stuck, slowly pull your syringe out (but don’t remove it from the port) and push the plunger down again.
- Pull the needle out and place your bag on the heat mat in an upright position (as it came).
- Put your project in constant (24 hour a day) low light, indirect light and wait until you see mycelium emerge. You can use natural lighting, however artificial lighting can be more beneficial and easier to control.If you’re worried about whether your project is too dark/light, pop us an email with some photos at [email protected]. We’d be more than happy to help!
- Once you see at least a 50p piece of mycelium emerge in the bag, give it a bit of a mix to help speed the process of full colonization along. You can then place your bag horizontally, on it’s side, so the air filter and injection port is facing the side.
Harvesting
Once your project is moved into the light and pins are starting to rear their little heads, it’s almost ready to harvest your gourmet health mushrooms! It’s unlikely your mushrooms will mature all at the same time as this is an organic process. However, it’s incredibly important to harvest them before they fully mature and release their spores as that can cause contamination and bring an early end to your project. So, make sure to pick any mushrooms that are ready to pop their hoods whenever they pop up!
Make sure you harvest them between stage 3-4 to ensure your mushrooms don’t drop their spores!
Ensure you re-seal your bag with a small easy glide bag sealer if you’d like to get multiple flushes out of your bag!
Repeat Flushes
It takes only three steps to promote a further flush (harvest) of your bag. Simply follow these steps below and you’ll have more gourmet health mushrooms in no time:
- After your bag’s growth has stopped, simply open the bag and add a cup full of cold tap water to the bag. Let this sit (ensure it’s sealed) for 12 hours.
- After 12 hours, slowly drain the water from the bag over the space of half an hour.
- To drain the kit, you will lay the kit down diagonally in the sink. You will then want to tip the kit slightly to encourage water to drain. Do this 3-4 times across 30 minutes. ***The block will only release a certain amount of water each time you tip it, therefore it has to be carried out multiple times to ensure the kit does not become waterlogged.
- Place this bag (sealed) in the exact same conditions you had it in before for it to fruit successfully. Wait 7-14 days and you should have the start of another flush.
Rinse and repeat!
