Growing oyster mushrooms on Masters Mix

Supplies

  • High pressure pan, autoclave or Steam Cooker
  • A big container to mix in
  • Latex gloves
  • Elastic or a hair band
  • A tiewrap
  • 700 ml of hot water
  • Brood for oyster mushrooms (100 grams per breeding bag)
  • 1 or more growing pockets
  • Hardwood pellets (500 grams per grow bag)
  • Wheat branch (100 grams per breeding bag)
  • Instead of the bags, pellets and wheat seal you can also choose ourready-made masters mix

Roadmap

  • Put the pellets and 700 ml of water in the container and mix them together.
  • Add the wheat seal as soon as everything is well mixed.
  • Now mix all the ingredients well.
  • Fill the breeding bag with the mixture just above the filter strip.
  • Fold the remaining "flap" around the filter bag and keep it in place through an elastic or hair band to pull the bag.
  • Sterilize the bag for at least 45 minutes in a high -pressure pan, autoclave or Steam Cooker.
  • Let the bag cool down to room temperature for at least 8 hours after sterilizing. Let cooling longer reduces the chance that the culture will fail.
  • In a clean place, for example a countertop that is well cleaned, add the breeding to the breeding bag. Shake this well so that all the breeding is spread through your mixture.
  • Now close the bag at the very top with a tiewrap and put it in a dark place at room temperature, for example in the room where the boiler is located.
  • As soon as the contents of the bag has become completely white, the oyster mushrooms are ready to grow. Place this in half shade in the living room and prevent them from getting direct sunlight.
  • Remove the Tiewrap. As a result, the oyster mushrooms suddenly get oxygen and create a place where they want to get out.
  • Keep the breeding bag moist by spraying it twice a day with a plant sprayer.
  • Within a week you will see small oyster mushrooms appear from the hole. In the following days, the oyster mushrooms double every day.
  • Keep spraying them to promote growth, but don't get them too wet. A nice mist is ideal, but if there are drops on the fungi, give them too much water.
  • As soon as the hats start to curl up it is time to harvest. Do this in time, because if you wait too long, they will dry out.
