![]() ![]() I plan to write more about these steps and many other mushroom topics, with great articles appearing here on our blog. This is in no way a comprehensive guide to learn how to grow mushrooms – but simply a basic outline of the process. Those jars can be used to spawn another 100 grain jars, which in turn can be used to spawn 1000 jars!Įventually, the mycelium will lose vigor and become exhausted, but it is nonetheless incredible that a tiny piece of mycelium can go on to produce thousands of pounds of mushrooms. That grain jar, in turn, can be used to spawn ten more jars. ![]() For example, a fingernail size slice of culture from a petri dish will grow out to fill a quart size grain jar. One incredible aspect of mushroom cultivation is the ability of the mushroom mycelium to grow out exponentially, achieving mass thousands of times its original size. If a proper environment is maintained, a healthy substrate can produce numerous “flushes” of mushrooms, allowing the cultivator to harvest the mushrooms 2 or 3 times. Harvest your mushrooms in subsequent flushesįinally, many of these pins -if given the right conditions- will continue to grow, drawing up water and nutrients from the substrate and rapidly turning into full sized mushrooms.
