In The Box
- [1] x Aussie Mushroom Ready to Grow Mushroom Kit - Shiitake | Easy to Fruit
Shiitake mushroom kits are one of the fastest to fruit. We incubate them for a minimum of 8-12 weeks so they are ready to burst out with mushrooms as soon as they arrive.To start you will need:
- A large bucket or a 30-50L plastic container to fruit them in.
- A waterproof table for the mushroom kit to sit on.
- (Eg: A brick or a plastic lunch container)
Step 1
- Open your Ready-to-grow mushroom kit box and check the label on the bag inside to determine Ready-to-Grow Mushroom kit species..
Step 2
- Are you ready to use the Ready to grow Mushroom kit?
- If the answer is no, place the kit in a cold fridge (1-5 degrees). Mushrooms can be kept in fridge for up to 8 weeks.
If the answer is yes move on to Step 3.
Step 3
- Take your kit out of the box, place it on the bench and allow air to inflate the bag. (NOTE: Air is removed during transport to fit in the box).
Step 4
- Fill the bag with cold tap water until the block is under water.
Step 5 - Soak
- Place the bag in the fridge for 5-10 hours to cold shock the block.
(Don't soak for too long or the block can get water logged). - Wait! I see mushrooms coming through. Do I still soak?
- Yes, still soak. But move quickly as the block is getting ready to fruit.
Step 6 - Set up fruiting container and start growing.
- Set up your fruiting container by placing your 'waterproof table' in the bucket/container.
Step 7
- Add about 0.5cm of water to the bottom of the bucket/container (this will help keep it humid).
Step 8
- Drain the water from the mushroom kit bag in the sink or garden.
Step 9
- Remove the mushroom block from the plastic bag and sit it on your waterproof table out of the water. Place the containers lid down allowing air gaps. Please Note: If you are using a plastic container, 1/4 turn the lid, (leaving 4 air gaps in each corner), OR, if using a bucket place cling wrap over 80% of the top of the bucket to allow fresh air and light to get in.
Step 10
- Mist the walls of your container with water 1-3 times per day as needed to keep it humid. Mist the block with water 1-2 times per day until the pins start to form. NOTE: Stop spraying the block directly when mushrooms start growing.
Step 11
- Harvest all of the mushrooms at once, then, rest your block somewhere dry for approximately 6 weeks. During this time it will fully dry out.
Step 12
- Head back up to Step 1 and begin again, your next flush.
