Magic truffle growing kits | Mushverse

Truffle growing kits

Magic truffle growing kits are one of the simplest ways to approach the fungi world at home. Unlike mushroom cultivation, which requires more strict control of humidity, light and ventilation, magic truffles are discreet, resistant and easy to grow. With the right kit, a clean environment and a bit of patience, anyone can observe how sclerotia develop in just a few weeks.

What does a truffle growing kit include?

The essential component of every kit is a sealed container that contains the substrate already colonized by the mycelium of the corresponding variety (for example, Atlantis or Galindoi). This block, sometimes called a "truffle cake", is the heart of the kit and contains everything essential for the process to develop autonomously.

Although growing kits are prepared to function autonomously, having some accessories can help improve results. A thermometer allows controlling that incubation remains around 22-23 °C, while an electric blanket or heating plate is very useful in winter to ensure temperature stability. Additionally, using gloves and a mask when handling the kit significantly reduces contamination risk.

Stages of magic truffle cultivation

The complete process usually takes between 3 and 5 months (about 12-20 weeks), although it can extend depending on conditions. It develops in several phases:

  • Incubation: maintain the kit at 22-23 °C, never exceeding 27 °C. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
  • Light and environment: can grow in illuminated or dark areas, always away from direct sunlight.
  • Respiration: the filter must remain free to allow gas exchange. The lid should never be opened during the process.
  • Harvest: truffles will be ready after about 12-20 weeks. It's recommended to collect them all at once.
  • Cleaning and preservation: after harvest, truffles are brushed or rinsed, dried and can be stored in refrigeration for a few days.

Frequently asked questions about truffle growing kits

  • How long do they take to grow? Between 2 and 5 months, depending on the variety and environmental conditions.
  • How many harvests does a kit produce? Generally one main harvest, although occasionally the mycelium can give a second, smaller one.
  • Can they be reused? The substrate has limited nutrients, so after one or two harvests it loses its productive capacity.

Truffle growing kits are, ultimately, a simple and educational gateway to domestic mycology, allowing you to observe firsthand how mycelium transforms substrate into sclerotia.
