Sterile Magic Mushroom substrate for p. Cubensis Large

Mushroom Substrate Kit Large | Sterile Substrate for mushroom cultivation

The mushroom sterilised substrate can be thought as soil for a plant. This sterilised substrate needs to be inoculated with our liquid cultures obtained from spores.

Mushroom Substrate Kit contains

• Container with 1200 cc / ml sterile substrate mix
• Liquid Culture 10 ml
• Injection port
• Fruiting Bag with Filter
• Alcohol swap
• Clip

Substrate Contains:

Sterilised substrate with a moisture content of 60-65%. A mixture of whole oat, vermiculite, perlite and Gypsum.

Recommeded products to use

• Spore syringe
• Spore Vial
• Face mask
• Gloves
• Lighter
• Desinfectant handgel

Storage

Always store your substrate kit in a clean refrigerator! We recommend using the substrate kit as soon as possible. The kit can be kept under refrigerated conditions for up to 6 weeks.

How to use a Mushroom Substrate Kit: Instructions

Phase 1 - Prepare the Liquid Culture

Wash your hands and clean the working area!

1. Shake the spore vial or syringe very well to make sure all spores are floating.
2. Disinfect the injection site of the liquid culture and the spore vial or syringe with the alcohol swap.
3. Inject 2 ml of spore solution in the Liquid culture

Shake the inoculated liquid culture vigorously once a day every day for 10 days Store the inoculated liquid culture in a place between 23-27 degrees Celsius. The liquid culture is ready when you see a cloud floating in the suspension. This is mycelium..

Your Liquid Culture is ready, It is called the Master Culture, if used and stored properly you can have lots of mycelium from only a bit of spores..

Important!

• If the liquid is murky, it means there is contamination and the culture is unusable.
• If you don’t use the liquid culture for 10 days, store it in the refrigerator

Phase 2 - Inoculation

Step 1

• Wash your hands and clean your working area
• Clean injection site of the sterilized substrate and liquid culture

Step 2

• Retract 10ml (1200 CC kit) or 10 ml (2100 CC) from the liquid culture

• Inject spore suspension, through the injection site of the kit

Step 3

• After inoculation turn and shake the box 360 degrees in all directions
• store the kit in a dark place with a temperature between 23 °-27°C

Result:

After inoculation, you'll see mycelium form. A white fungus will gradually fill the sterilized substrate. This can take up to 2-3 weeks depending on the temperature.

Phase 3 - Fruiting and Spore collection

~ Please keep in mind that fruiting mushrooms can be illegal in you country. Always check you local laws before entering this stage. ~

When the substrate is fully colonized it's time to get the fruits growing to collect mushroom spores or mushroom tissue to continue your research or cultivation.
