- We found that the pH buffers in the substrate keep the environment stable during long fruiting cycles.
What Users Say

FAQs
This kit is specifically formulated for dung or grassland-loving mushroom species that require a manure-based substrate and a high pH casing layer for optimal growth.
This kit is designed with advanced growers in mind due to the specific requirements of the species it targets. However, the included step-by-step guide makes the process clear and manageable for dedicated learners.
You will need to supply your own mushroom spores or liquid culture, as they are not included in the kit. You will also need a pressure cooker or steam bath to sterilize the casing mix.
Pasteurization uses a lower heat treatment (a 2.5-hour hot water bath) to kill harmful contaminants while preserving beneficial microorganisms in the manure substrate. These microbes can help protect your mycelium from competing molds.
While a standard kit like the 44Q Monotub Kit uses a coir-based substrate for a wide range of species, this kit uses a specialized, nutrient-rich manure substrate and a high-pH casing layer specifically for grassland varieties.
To properly preserve your harvest, we recommend drying them thoroughly. A dedicated tool like the MycoLabs Mushroom Dehydrator ensures optimal results and longevity.
