Zanaravo.com - mushroom spawn and kits for mushroom cultivation
Cultivation kits represent the easiest way to cultivate mushrooms. They contain substrate composed of sterilized woody biomass/grains mixture, already colonized by fungal mycelia.
All you have to do is to assure some fundamental environmental conditions in the place where the kit will be located. In one week or so first mushrooms will appear.
This method is used for cultivation of oyster mushrooms in various places such as basements, terraces, gardens, living rooms etc.
Upon receiving the oyster mushroom cultivation kit just cut off the upper part of the bag covering the substrate (picture 1). Only in environment with very high relative air humidity you may remove the whole bag covering the substrate (picture 2).
