Mushroom cultivation supplies are the tools that allow you to create the growing environment needed for mushroom production. These can include sterilization equipment, a working laminar flow hood (which will be discussed in a future blog post) and specialized mushroom jar lids. These lids feature injection ports to make it easy to inoculate substrate with a spore syringe without exposing the culture to contaminants. Other common mushroom cultivation supplies include a steamer, although this might be considered equipment rather than a supply. Steaming is a very effective way of killing off competing organisms and making the substrate ideal for mushroom growth.
A good selection of mushroom growing books is also an essential mushroom cultivation supply. They can provide a rich source of knowledge and expertise to guide you on your mycological journey and help you achieve higher yields and healthier fruiting.
Ready-to-fruit mushroom grow kits are a great way to get started in the hobby of cultivating gourmet mushrooms at home. These kits are complete with a 5+ lb fully myceliated sawdust block and detailed growing instructions. These kits are ideal for beginners and will produce a harvest of up to 4 lbs over multiple flushes.
