Mushroom growing kits: Harvest your own mushrooms at home

Mushroom growing kits

Have you always wanted to grow mushrooms at home but don't know where to start? Discover the perfect solution.

A mushroom growing kit is the simplest and most accessible way to enter the world of domestic mycology. These kits are designed to eliminate the most technical steps of the process (such as substrate sterilization or spore inoculation) and directly offer a substrate block already colonized by mycelium. This way, anyone can focus on the final stage: fruiting and harvesting fresh mushrooms at home.

Components of a Mushroom Growing Kit

The main component of every kit is the so-called mushroom block, a nutritious substrate block (grain, sawdust or compost) that has already been inoculated and colonized by mycelium. Being ready to fruit, it only requires basic humidity and temperature conditions. Depending on the model, the block may come with:

  • Fruiting bag: a container with filter that creates an adequate microclimate for mushroom development.
  • Usage instructions: a step-by-step guide to activate, maintain and harvest the kit.
  • Optional accessories: clips or other elements that help maintain a controlled environment.

How to use your Growing Kit in 3 simple steps

The usage is designed to be very simple and summarized in three stages:

  • Activation: awaken the mycelium through humidity or exposure to adequate light and air conditions.
  • Maintenance: maintain the indicated humidity (spraying water in the environment) and temperature. The mycelium takes care of the rest.
  • Harvest: collect the mushrooms when they reach optimal size. Most kits allow several harvests or "flushes".

Types of Kits: Mushroom block or grow bag?

Within this category, two main formats are distinguished:

  • Mushroom blocks: inoculated blocks that require maintaining a humid environment (at least 80% humidity) and controlled conditions to fruit. They are the most common format for beginners.
  • Grow bags: designed for larger productions, reaching up to 600 grams per bag. By not needing to be opened during the process, they reduce contamination risk and function as a sterile and autonomous environment.

The simplicity of the mushroom grow kit

The main appeal of a mushroom growing kit is its simplicity. No previous experience or technical knowledge is needed, and results are obtained in just a few weeks. Additionally, it's an educational and rewarding experience, ideal for curious people, nature lovers or families interested in educational projects. Observing how mycelium gives rise to fruiting bodies is a unique way to approach the fascinating life cycle of fungi.

The information in this section is educational in nature. The kits described are intended solely for ornamental, study or collection purposes, and not for consumption.
