Why are 500gms better than 1kg bags-

Faster colonisation
They are smaller, so they are easier to manage
They are easy to place in the fruiting chamber as their height is not too big.

The consistency of the bag is really light, and mycelium vigorously colonises it. Let’s be honest; these bags are not meant to give you a heavy flush of mushrooms. These bags are designed to colonise fast and give you the mushroom at the fastest possible time.

Each bag must be removed from the mushroom grow bag once they have completely colonized and must be introduced to the fruiting chamber. There are plenty of videos to make your own fruiting chamber on YouTube!

This is the simplest way of growing your own mushrooms, as you do not need a grain transfer or substrate transfer. Grow directly out of the bag.

One of the easiest methods is to create a mono-tub and fill it with Perlite (easily available in Bunnings). Add some water and put the colonised bags on top of cardboard wrapped with aluminium foil so that the mycelium block does not touch the perlite. Don’t add too much water, as the purpose of water is to maintain humidity inside the monotub. If you are in any trouble regarding this, we are happy to assist you.

We recommend that the bags are used as soon as possible to minimise the chances of contamination.

How to inoculate?

In a clean environment, wipe the injection port with an alcohol swab o spray with isopropyl alcohol.
Shake the LC syringe and Flame sterilize the needle.
Cool the needle for a few seconds and inject around 5 ml of liquid culture into the Brown Rice Flour + Vermiculite Bag.

Once ready to fruit, use the following method-

1) Once the block of Mycelium is colonised, cut the bag open and place the bag’s contents in the fruiting chamber. Mushrooms will start growing in 7-8 days, depending on the variety.

2) Once you have harvested your first batch, keep the block submerged in Sterile water in the fridge overnight (Boiled water which was cooled down). This will hydrate your mycelium block and is ready for the second flush

During the second or third flush, the contamination rate is high if the sterile technique is not maintained.

This bag can give you your own mushrooms in less than a month.

In case you wish to make your own BRF bags, we also offer Brown Rice Flour in bulk.
