Magic mushroom grow bag for inoculation with a spore syringe.
The Mushroom Grow Bag is a completely self-contained growing environment for the incubation and fruiting of grain loving mushrooms. These bags contain everything you will need, minus spores or culture, to begin your experiments with any grain loving fungus. Now shipping with self-healing injector site.
Please Note: The Mushroom Grow Bag does not come with Spore Syringes. Spores are sold separately and can be purchased here.
Directions for use
Upon arrival, inspect your Bag for punctures or tears, if any are noticeable; contact us to arrange for a replacement to be shipped. Unfold the Bag, allowing the extra bag material to stand straight up as pictured in Figure 2. 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 will be 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 and squirting 1cc of culture solution into the mixture. Mix culture solution thoroughly by shaking the syringe before injection. (Faster colonization can be achieved by squirting solution into several locations in the substrate mixture).When injection is finished, slowly remove the needle and the foam disc will seal the injection site (no need to tape). DO NOT insert the needle through the white filter patch. Return the inoculated bags back to the shipping box and place in a dark, warm location (species specific). Allow the bag to remain extended so gaseous exchange through the filter patch is not blocked. The bags may be gently shaken to distribute the colonizing grains for faster spawn run. Colonization time will depend on the species used and incubation temperatures.
