Ballot de culture de Pleurotes

Oyster mushroom cultivation bag

Harvest between 1.5 and 2kg of oyster mushrooms over 3 harvests. This variety can be grown all year round, ideal temperature between 12° and 20° C.

The bundle can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks until ready to use.

Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Oyster mushrooms need a little light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that risks drying out the bale: draft, radiator, sun. Oyster mushrooms like humidity but don't like being soaked all the time.

Open the bundle

  • Make a cut in the side of the bale at the substrate level. Thoroughly remove the air from the bag, to prevent mushrooms from growing inside the bag.
  • Place the bag with the opening on its side. Keep moist until buds appear
  • Keep humidity at 80 to 90% when growing mushrooms, spraying with water if necessary.

Ballot de culture de champignons Shiitakés bio

Shiitake culture bag

Harvest between 1 and 1.5 kg of oyster mushrooms over 1 to 2 harvests. This variety can be grown all year round, ideal temperature between 12° and 20° C.

The bundle can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks until ready to use.

Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Shiitake needs a little light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that risks drying out the bale: draft, radiator, sun. Optimal humidity is 80-90%.

To increase humidity, you can spray water or water it 1-2 times a day. You can also cover the bale with transparent plastic pierced with small holes (possibly the plastic of the bale opened in two). This will allow the bundle to breathe and the mushrooms to grow while maintaining a humid atmosphere.

Open the bundle

  • Remove the plastic bag completely over a sink, preferably and rinse the bundle with clean water.
  • Place the bundle on a plate.

Ballot lions mane

Lion's Mane Grow Ball

Harvest up to 1.5kg of fresh mushrooms over 3 to 4 harvests. Lion's Mane can grow all year round in temperatures ranging from 10 to 25°. For fruiting, avoid drafts and temperature variations; they like high humidity but cannot tolerate being wet.

The bundle can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks until ready to use.

Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). The lion's mane appreciates indirect sunlight. Avoid anything that risks drying out the bundle: draft, radiator, sun.

Our advice if you don't have growing space: place a transparent plastic bag perforated with small holes, above the bundle. Remove the plastic twice a day to renew the air to ventilate the bundle./p>

Open the bundle

  • Start by pushing the air out of the bag, making a small cut on the top if necessary. of the bag. Fold the plastic on its side and to hold it you can tape it, or lay it down on this side.
  • Then make two cross cuts of 5 cm on each side of the bale.
  • The substrate must remain humid. If necessary, moisten with a spray at the opening.

Ballot de champignons Eryngii

Eryngii culture ball

Harvest between 0.75 and 1kg of oyster mushrooms over 2 to 3 harvests. A little more delicate to cultivate than gray oyster mushrooms, eryngiis have a very good shelf life. thanks to its firm and dense flesh, and its low water content. The foot approaches the texture of the Bordeaux porcini mushrooms. Light almond flavor. They can be cooked as carpaccios.

The bundle can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks until ready to use.

Eryngiis prefer cool temperatures of 15 to 18°. They need high humidity and constant at the beginning of fruiting, which gradually decreases until harvest.

Inside (kitchen, garage, cellar). Eryngiis need a little light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that risks drying out the bundle: draft, radiator, sun. Eryngiis like humidity but do not like to be constantly soaked because they are more susceptible to diseases than oyster mushrooms for example.

2 fruiting modes:

  • Open the top of the bag between leaving 15 to 20 cm of plastic above the substrate, and wait for the primordia ("buds" of mushrooms) to appear, then go back down gradually the plastic at the substrate level.
  • Make a cut in the side of the bale at the level of the substrate and expel the air from the bag through this opening. In the same way as oyster mushrooms, keep moist. This technique takes a little more time, and tends to produce a little less. But this favors the development of the caps more than the feet, which gives the mushrooms a little different in taste and texture.

Ballot de champignons Black Pearl

Black Pearl Culture Ball

Black pearls can be grown in the same way as oyster mushrooms or eryngiis: growth can be done in "top fruiting", on the top of the bag, or through a cut on the side of the bag.

Ballot de Reishi, champignons prêts à pousser

Reishi culture bag

Harvest between 500 gr and 1 kg of fresh mushrooms in 1 harvest.

Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Reishi appreciates heat (20-30°). Depending on humidity of the place, it may be necessary to moisten regularly with a spray. However, avoid that the bale bathes in a constant bottom of water. Reishi likes indirect sunlight (think that it grows in "undergrowth"). Avoid anything that risks drying out the bundle: draft, radiator, sun.

To cultivate reishis, we recommend the following technique. Leave the plastic bag closed trying to maximize the air inside the bag. If necessary you can open the bag to let air inside and close it with adhesive tape. The objective is to create a mini greenhouse with a very high CO2 level inside. This will promote the development of feet (“antlers”). This step can take between 30 and 60 days.

When the feet are about 15cm, which is 2/3 of the air space in the bag, you can open the bag on top to create an air inlet, which will promote the development of the hats. You let it grow for +-30 more days and your reishi is ready to harvest.

Mycélium sur grain

Mycelia on grains

Mycelium on grains is used to sow substrates such as straw or sawdust

Our mycelia can be used for indoor growing and outdoor growing. The substrates used generally consist of straw, sawdust, or fresh logs. These constitute the carbon base of the substrate, the basic food of the mushrooms.

This substrate can be enriched with different materials richer in nitrogen such as wheat bran, alfalfa or coffee grounds. This makes it possible to increase harvests, while revalorizing certain co-products and integrating a circular dimension into mushroom production.

See the guide for mycelia
Buche ensemencée par du mycélium sur cheville de bois

Culture on logs

Growing on logs with mycelia on pegs is a fairly simple way to produce mushrooms in your garden. You can thus add value to your wood cuts, while producing quality mushrooms over the long term.

It is a culture that requires a certain patience because the first mushrooms will take 12 to 18 months to appear... Then, a good log can give mushrooms every year over 5 years. After seeding the logs, the main work is mainly limited to maintaining constant humidity on the logs.

You can produce different mushrooms in the same location, which will produce at different times of the year.
