Shiitake Mushroom Grow Kit Small: SW

The above photo shows our Wood Based Mushroom Bag colonized with Lentinula edodes mycelium. Detail of ''popcorning effect.'' Shiitake Kit placed in supplied humdity tent for fruiting. Everything you need to start exploring the wonders of edible mushroom cultivation! These kits include a shiitake mushroom culture syringe (Lentinula edodes) and come with a number of our pre-sterilized Wood Based Mushroom Bags specially formulated for fruiting the shiitake mushroom. Note: Small kit includes one Bag and 3cc culture syringe, medium kit includes four Bags and a 10cc culture syringe, and the large kit includes ten Bags and a 10cc culture syringe. This latest Bag formula has been developed for more substantial yields from mushrooms that prefer wood based substrates over grain based substrates. This formulation design proves to be more usable by live cultures. The Bags for each kit are shipped with all air removed for easy packing. Each Bag contains approximately one pound of sterilized substrate material. Also included is enough culture material to get each bag started, see the note above for exact amount of culture included. A filter patch is attached to the Bag to allow for gas exchange during colonization. The Bags measure 4'' wide, 3'' deep, and 18'' tall. To use, simply unfold the Bag, allowing the extra material to stand straight. Locate the small foam disk sealed and attached in a plastic housing near the base of the Bag. This disc is the self-healing injector site. Note: The disc is covered by a small plastic shield. Do not attempt to remove the plastic covering the disc, you will inject through it. Sterilize a small section of the outside of the Bag (on the plastic shield) directly over the foam disc with an alcohol soaked wipe. With the same alcohol soaked wipe, sterilize the needle on your culture syringe. Inoculate the substrate with culture syringe (included) solution by inserting the needle through the plastic shield and foam disc at the previously sterilized spot. Squirt 1cc of culture solution directly into the substrate material . DO NOT insert the needle through the white filter patch found near the top of the Bag. Place the kit's bag(s) in a dark location and incubate at 68-78F. It is recommend to store the bag fully extended as developing mycelia will give off gases that will slowly expand the interior of the Bag. This ballooning effect is crucial for proper air exchange and culture development. Note: During drier summer months it is advisable to store the Bag in a humid location. Excessively dry environments may draw moisture from the Bags. Because colonization will begin in the interior of the substrate material it may take between 14-20 days for you to notice the spreading of colonizing mycelium towards the outside of the Bag. Full colonization takes at least one month at room temperature (68-78F) after injection of the shiitake culture. A brown coloration will be seen to develop when the ki
