Sterilised Substrate

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

Contents

• Sterilised substrate with a moisture content: 60-65%. A mixture of whole oat, vermiculite, perlite and Gypsum.
• Either 1200 cc or 2100cc
• Injection port
• Fruiting bag with filter

2 Phases Activations

Phase 1 - Liquid Culture

Step 1

• wash your hands and working area
• clean injection site of the liquid culture and spore vial or syringe with alcohol swab

Step 2

• inject 2 ml from the Spore Vial or Syringe in the Liquid Culture

Step 3

• shake the inoculated liquid culture once a day every day for 10 days
• store the liquid culture in a place with temperature between 23°C and 27°C

Result:The liquid culture is ready when you see a cloud floating in the suspension. If the liquid is murky, it means there is a contamination and the liquid culture is unusable (If you don't use it for 10 days, store the liquid culture in the refrigerator)

Phase 2 - Inoculation

Step 1

• wash your hands and working area
• clean injection site of the sterilised substrate and liquid culture

Step 2

• Retract 10ml (1200cc kit) or 20ml (2100cc kit) from the liquid culture
• Inject 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 temperature between 23°C and 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.
