Grow your own mushrooms with our mushroom bag

Grow your own mushrooms with our mushroom bag. We’ve made it easy for you!

The mushroom bag consists of a mixture of oyster mushroom mycelium, organic straw and water, making it easy for you to grow mushrooms in your own home.

With the mushroom bag you can harvest your own organic oyster mushrooms all year round. The mushroom bag can be placed on the kitchen counter, on the windowsill, on the balcony, in the garden or anywhere else you see fit.

The bag comes in a recycled cardboard box with instructions enclosed. A nice jute bag is enclosed in the box.

Bag size: Approx. 20 liters/8 kg.

The bag yields 2-4 ‘vomit’ oyster mushrooms within a year or so, varying in size, but preferably 500 – 1000 g the first time, and somewhat less the following times.

• The substrate is made from straw from organic fields.
• The jute bag is sustainably produced and food approved.
• The plastic bag is made of food grade plastic.
• Cardboard boxes are made from recycled cardboard.
• The guide is printed on recycled paper.

You can make delicious mushroom soup or mushroom sauce from home-grown oyster mushrooms, for example. The mushrooms are also ideal in a creamy risotto.

Grow your own mushrooms – GET STARTED WITH THE MUSHROOM BAG!

Take the sponge bag out of the box. The substrate is in a plastic bag.

The included burlap bag can be pulled on if you wish.

Place your mushroom bag where you want it to be and start growing mushrooms.

1. It can be both outdoors and indoors, as long as it gets some daylight.
2. The bag should not be left in direct sunlight and should be protected from wind as much as possible .
3. The bag can also be hung up, which will effectively protect it from any slug infestation.

Cut 4-6 holes distributed on the bag, the holes should be cut through both the jute bag and the plastic bag. Make sure that the jute bag does not shift after the holes are cut. This can happen especially if you hang the bag up.

1. The holes/incisions are cut with a sharp knife.
2. The cuts should be horizontal and approximately 2 cm long.
3. You can place the cuts as you like; either around the entire bag or just on one side of the bag.
4. Space the holes apart so that the mushrooms have room to grow.

The bag then takes care of itself.

As the mushrooms grow out, you can spray water on the mushrooms continuously if they seem dry.

Some of the mushrooms may wither completely on their way out. This is completely normal.

In some cases, fungi will come out of all the holes, but more often than not, fungi will only come out of some of the holes.

The mushrooms are ripe and ready to be picked when they become bright and “sharp” at the edges.

This will be after approximately 1 week of growth.

Simply wipe off the sponges gently with your hands.

If the mushrooms start to turn yellowish, they should be picked immediately as this is a sign of over-ripeness. No damage has been done. They still taste delicious.

• The substrate is made from straw from organic fields.

THE LIFE OF THE SPONGE BAG

The mushrooms grow in “breaks”. Once the first-break is over, the bag will pause before a second-break will grow. You can choose to let the second-break come out of the original first-break holes, or you can cut new holes elsewhere on the bag. Experiment as you go. For the third break etc. repeat the procedure and continue with the same/new holes.

The mushrooms grow best at 18°C and it is the temperature and humidity that determines how many mushrooms and how much vomit the bag can produce, as well as the time between vomits. The bag will go dormant when temperatures get too high or low, but it will not be destroyed and both the bag and any outgrown mushrooms can also withstand frost and will continue to grow when temperatures rise again. The older the bag gets, the longer the time between breaks and the fewer mushrooms there will be per break. Due to the weather conditions and indoor temperatures, it is difficult to say anything general about the harvest. However, if you try, it can be said that a bag placed under favorable conditions will in most cases be able to continue its production for about 1 year, during which time it will produce 2-4 puffs. …. Youmust be patient between puffs.

When you no longer want to use the bag, the organic straw in the bag, due to its processing, is very suitable as an environmentally friendly fertilizer in the soil around plants and beds in your garden or backyard.
