Grow Kit Fruiting Block 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 bale can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks while waiting to be used.
Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Oyster mushrooms need some light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that might dry out the bale: 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 expel 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 buds appear.
- Maintain humidity between 80 and 90% during mushroom growth, spraying water if necessary.
Grow Kit Fruiting Block 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 log can be stored for 1 to 2 weeks in the fridge while waiting to be used.
Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Shiitake needs 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 log with a transparent plastic sheet pierced with small holes (possibly the plastic from the log opened in two). This will allow the log 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 log with clear water.
- Place the log on a plate.
Grow Kit Fruiting Block Lion's Mane
Harvest up to 1.5kg of fresh mushrooms over 3 to 4 harvests. Lion's Mane can grow all year round at temperatures between 10 and 25°. For fruiting, avoid drafts and temperature fluctuations; they like high humidity but cannot tolerate being wet.
The bale can be stored 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 block: drafts, radiator, sun.
Our advice if you don't have a growing space: place a transparent plastic bag perforated with small holes over the block. Remove the plastic twice a day to renew the air and aerate the block./p>
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 block.
- The substrate must remain Damp. If needed, moisten with a spray around the opening.
Grow Kit Fruiting Block 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, eryngii have very good shelf life thanks to its firm and dense flesh, and its low water content. The stem is close in texture to Bordeaux porcini. Light almond flavor. They can be cooked as carpaccios.
The bale can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks while waiting to be used.
Eryngii prefer cool temperatures of 15 to 18°. They need high humidity and constant at the beginning of fruiting, which gradually decreases until harvest.
Indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Eryngii need a bit of light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that might dry out the bag: drafts, radiator, sun. Eryngii like humidity but do not like to be constantly soaked because they are more sensitive to diseases than oyster mushrooms, for example.
2 fruiting methods:
- 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 lower gradually the plastic at the substrate level.
- Make a cut on the side of the bag at the substrate level and chase the air out of 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 development of caps more than stems, which gives mushrooms a bit different in taste and texture.
Grow Kit Fruiting Block of Black Pearl
Black pearls can be cultivated in the manner of oyster mushrooms or eryngis: the growth can be done in "top fruiting", on the top of the bag, or by a cut on the side of the bag.

Grow Kit Fruiting Block of Reishi
Harvest between 500 g and 1 kg of fresh mushrooms per harvest.
Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Reishi likes warmth (20-30°). Depending on the humidity of the place, it may be necessary to regularly mist with a spray. However, avoid that the log soaks in a constant water base. Reishi appreciates indirect sunlight (think that it grows in the "underwood". Avoid anything that might dry out the log: drafts, radiator, sun.
To grow 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 the bag to let air in and close it again with adhesive tape. The goal is to create a mini greenhouse with a very high CO2 level inside. This will promote the development of the stems ("antlers"). This step can take between 30 and 60 days.
When the stems 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 caps. You let it grow for about 30 more days and your reishi is ready to be harvested.

Myceliums on grains
The grain spawn is used to inoculate substrates such as straw or wood shavings
Our mycelia can be used for indoor and outdoor cultivation. The substrates used are generally made up of straw, wood shavings, or fresh wood logs. These form 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 helps increase yields while revaluing 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. You can thus 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 is essentially limited to maintaining constant moisture on the logs.
You can produce different mushrooms in the same place, which will produce at different times of the year.

The kit can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 weeks while waiting to use
Grow indoors (kitchen, garage, cellar). Oyster mushrooms need some light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight, avoid anything that might dry out the bale: drafts, radiator, sun. Oyster mushrooms like humidity but do not like to be constantly soaked.
Open the bale
- Open the plastic in a cross shape with a clean knife and place in indirect light between 10° and 20°
- Water daily at the opening 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. Bon appétit!
- For a second harvest, close the bag for 1 to 2 weeks, soak it in water overnight in the fridge. Cover, water, harvest!
