Ready to enter the fascinating world of magic mushroom cultivation? At Iguana Smoke we make it easy for you with this step-by-step guide to correctly using your Fresh Mushrooms and get multiple harvests from the comfort of your home.
Step 1: Initial preparations
Take the container out of its box and carefully remove the lid. Clean the container with tap water and
Keep it, as you will need it later.
Do not introduce water or tamper with the substrate: it comes ready to go.
Step 2: Preparing the system
Place the grow bag on a flat surface and slide the grow kit into it. Fold the bag under the grow kit and make sure the micro-perforation is just above the tray and pointing upwards. Then place everything in the original cardboard box to cover the light from the sides. By folding the bag under the grow kit it will be practically closed, and you will no longer have to worry about air circulation.
Step 3: Ideal conditions
Locate your kit in a place with good indirect lighting (never direct sunlight) and a
constant temperature between 18 °C and 28 °C, with 23 °C being optimal.
If your environment is colder, you can use a heating mat to maintain the ideal range and accelerate growth.
Step 4: Sprouting and growing
Between the first and third week, you will notice the appearance of small mushrooms. At this time,
lift the bag so that it is vertical.
It is not necessary to spray water, as the internal humidity is sufficient.
Step 5: Air circulation
When the little hats start to take shape, open the top of the bag a little bit.
to promote evaporation.
This will prevent moisture accumulation that could affect fungal growth.
Step 6: Responsible harvesting
The time to harvest comes just before the veil of the hat breaks.
Use clean gloves or hands washed with disinfectant soap. To cut, gently rotate the
stem from the base and pull upwards.
This method helps to avoid damaging the mycelium, which favours future harvests.
Step 7: New flushes (flushes)
You've already collected your first batch, great! Now you can repeat the process.
Fill the container with cold water, put the lid on, and leave to soak for 12 hours.
Then drain, put it back in the bag and repeat from step 2.
Tips from Iguana Smoke
- Do not spray water at the start: The kit comes ready to fructify.
- Avoid polluting: Do not breathe into the bag or use aluminium foil.
- Hygiene first and foremost: Always wash your hands or wear clean gloves.
- Can't you start now? Store the kit in the refrigerator (3-5 °C) for up to 4 weeks at the most, although we recommend starting it as soon as possible for best results.
-WARNING - IMPORTANT
The manufacturing company is only responsible for the replacement of a mushroom loaf if it is in bad condition when you receive it from the agency. Once the loaf is opened and cultivation begins, any factor can affect the mushroom loaf's spoilage.
When you receive it, you should check that the bread is in perfect condition and does not have any green stains. If you detect any green stains, please contact us the same day you receive the delivery so that we can arrange a solution.
To ensure maximum freshness of the mushroom loaves we sell, we will not ship orders with mushroom loaves on Fridays. They will be shipped on the next working day to avoid them spending the weekend unrefrigerated and in conditions that we cannot control. Also, as this is a perishable product, orders with this type of product cannot be paid for by cash on delivery. Thank you for your understanding.
These hybrid mushroom loaves should not be grown in the same greenhouse or container as other varieties that are not of the same genetics, nor should they be grown with other types of hybrid mushroom loaves. This is because they do not have the same cultivation and aeration needs and could become contaminated or fail to fruit properly.
The mycological breads are exclusively for scientific, ornamental or collection use. The company accepts no responsibility for the product once the packaging has been opened.
