A mushroom grow kit is a ready-to-use kit that contains all the necessary materials and instructions to grow mushrooms at home. These kits are designed to simplify the growing process even for those with no previous growing experience. They usually contain a substrate that has already been inoculated with the fungal spores needed to grow mushrooms. One of the most well-known mushroom grow kits is the Golden Teacher, famous for the golden appearance the mushrooms have.

A mushroom grow kit works by providing a controlled environment for the growth of mushrooms. After receiving the kit, follow the included instructions that will guide you through the various stages of the growing process, including myscelium, pinheads, growth and harvesting. It is important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure a successful harvest.

Growing mushrooms with a grow kit can range from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the species of mushroom and the specific conditions of the growing environment. Generally, first results can be expected within a few weeks and further harvests possible in the following months. Also check out our breeding report for more information.

Maintaining a mushroom grow kit requires attention to several factors to ensure successful growth and harvest. Here are some important steps and tips for maintaining a mushroom grow kit:

• • Temperature and light: Ensure a constant temperature between 20-25°C and place the sealant in an area with indirect sunlight.
  • Humidity: Keep the humidity high by spraying the sealant with water regularly. Be sure not to over-spray. The grow kits do not need to be swimming. Normal wetting is sufficient.
  • Ventilation: Provide adequate ventilation to prevent mold growth, but avoid direct drafts.
  • Hygiene: Maintain a clean environment to avoid contamination; wash your hands thoroughly before touching the kit and use sterile gloves if possible.
  • Follow the instructions: Follow the instructions provided carefully to ensure optimum growth and harvest.
  • Harvest on time: Harvest the mushrooms as soon as they are mature, but before the spores fall off to preserve potency and quality.

These steps will help you maintain your mushroom grow kit and maximize your harvest.
