[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.
