Ready to fruit blocks of Oyster mushrooms
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 while waiting to be used
Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Oyster mushrooms need a bit of light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that might dry out the log: drafts, radiator, sun. Oyster mushrooms like humidity but do not like to be constantly soaked.
Open the bale
- Make a cut on 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 the side. Keep moist until the buds appear
- Maintain humidity at 80 to 90% during mushroom growth, spraying water if necessary.
Ready to fruit blocks Shiitake
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 bale can be kept in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks while waiting to be used
Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Shiitake mushrooms need a bit of light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that might dry out the log: drafts, radiator, sun. The optimal humidity is 80 to 90%.
To increase humidity, you can spray water or water it 1 to 2 times a day. You can also cover the bale with a transparent plastic sheet pierced with small holes (possibly the plastic of the bale opened in two). This will allow the bale to breathe and the mushrooms to grow while maintaining a humid atmosphere.
Open the bale
- Completely remove the plastic bag over a sink preferably and rinse the bale with clear water.
- Place the bale on a plate.
Ready to fruit blocks Lion's Mane
Harvest up to 1.5kg of fresh mushrooms over 3 to 4 harvests. Lion's Mane mushrooms can grow all year round at temperatures ranging from 10 to 25°. For fruiting, avoid drafts and temperature fluctuations; they prefer high humidity but cannot tolerate being wet.
The bundle can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks while waiting to be used
Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Lion's mane appreciates indirect sunlight. Avoid anything that might dry out the log: drafts, radiator, sun.
Our advice if you don't have a growing space: place a transparent plastic bag perforated with small holes over the bale. Remove the plastic twice a day to renew the air and ventilate the bale.
Open the bale
- Start by thoroughly expelling the air from the bag, making a small cut on the top if necessary of the bag. Fold the plastic to the side and to hold it you can tape it, or lay it down on this side.
- Then make two 5 cm cross cuts on each side of the bale.
- The substrate must remain moist. If needed, moisten with a spray at the opening.
Ready to fruit blocks Eryngii
Harvest between 0.75 and 1kg of oyster mushrooms over 2 to 3 harvests. A bit more delicate to cultivate than grey oyster mushrooms, eryngis have very good preservation. thanks to its firm and dense flesh, and its low water content. The stem approaches the texture of the Bordeaux porcini mushrooms. Light almond flavor. They can be prepared as carpaccios.
The bundle can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 weeks while waiting to be used
Eryngos 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). Eryngii need a bit of light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that might dry out the bale: drafts, radiator, sun. Eryngii 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 leaving 15-20 cm of plastic above the substrate, and wait for the appearance of primordia ("mushroom buds"), then go back down progressively the plastic at the substrate level.
- Make a cut on the side of the bale at the substrate level 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 promotes the development of the caps more than the stems, which gives mushrooms a bit different in terms of taste and texture.
Ready to fruit blocks of Black Pearl
Black pearls can be cultivated in the manner of oyster mushrooms or eryngis: growth can occur in "top fruiting," on the top of the bag, or through a cut on the side of the bag.

Ready to fruit blocks of Reishi
Harvest between 500 g and 1 kg of fresh mushrooms in one harvest.
Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Reishi likes warmth (20-30°). Depending on the humidity data, it may be necessary to regularly moisten with a spray. However, avoid that the ballot soaks in a constant water bath. The reishi prefers indirect sunlight (think that it grows in the "underbrush"). Avoid anything that might dry out the bale: drafts, radiator, sun.
To cultivate reishis, we recommend the following technique. Leave the plastic bag closed while trying to maximize the air inside the bag. If necessary, you can open it a little bag to let air in and close it with adhesive tape. The goal 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, or 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 caps. You let it grow for about 30 more days and your reishi is ready to be harvested.

Grain spawn
The grain spawn is used to inoculate substrates such as straw or wood chips
Our myceliums can be used for indoor and outdoor cultivation. The substrates used are generally made up of straw, wood shavings, or fresh wood logs. These constitute the carbon base of the substrate, the basic food for the mushrooms.
This substrate can be enriched with various materials richer in nitrogen such as wheat bran, alfalfa, or coffee grounds. This allows for increased yields, while revalorizing certain co-products and integrating a circular dimension into mushroom production.
See the guide for myceliums
Log cultivation
Log cultivation with myceliums on plugs is a fairly simple way to grow mushrooms in your garden. This allows you to make use of your wood cuttings while producing quality mushrooms over the long term.
It is a cultivation that requires some patience because the first mushrooms will take 12 to 18 months to appear... Then, a good log can produce mushrooms every year for 5 years. After inoculating the logs, the main work essentially consists of maintaining a constant humidity on the logs.
You can grow different mushrooms in the same place, which will produce at different times of the year.

Oyster Mushroom Growing Kit
Harvest up to 1kg of oyster mushrooms over 3 harvests. This variety can be grown all year round, with an ideal temperature between 12° and 20° C.
The kit can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 weeks while waiting to be used
Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Oyster mushrooms need a bit of light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that might dry out the log: drafts, radiator, sun. Oyster mushrooms like humidity but do not like to be constantly soaked.
Open the bale
- Open the plastic crosswise with a clean knife and place the indirect light between 10° and 20°
- Water daily at the opening level to keep the substrate moist
- After 10 to 15 days, before the caps lift, harvest the oyster mushrooms by gently twisting the cluster on itself carefully. Let's eat!
- For a second harvest, close the bag for 1 to 2 weeks, soak it in water overnight in the fridge. Cover, water, harvest!
