https://www.amazon.com/All-One-Mushroom-Grow-Bag/dp/B00NHYUMQ8/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1523699197&sr=8-3&keywords=mushroom+grow+kit

it looks really easy. Sure its kinda expensive when you can make 3 bags for that price, but aye its got straw manure and grains all sterilized.

All you do is inject, shake and open it up. it has a patch for ge and everything.


I'd assume the yields off this are pretty good looks like a quality product.
if my current grow fucks up i think this is what im gonna try.

This is a product I have explored offering: I've made it before, had lots of requests for it before, and it sells well.
But the reality is that it sucks. It does not make life easier.

They are often slow to colonize, harder to use/mix, and lower yielding and higher risk of contamination; rarely is the grain prepared with proper moisture content.

It is a gimmicky product that is really attractive to noobs. Once you do it another way, you'll see how lame they are.


Here's what I would recommend, and keep in mind, I might be a bit biased because I am the seller of such a product, so you know; continue your research, exercise skepticism, get feedback, etc

1. Buy the cheaper prepared sterilized grain from one of the sponsors. :wink:

7. Inoculate it with your choice of mushroom, and let fully colonize. It is better to let it sit a few days after then it is to use before fully colonized; any uncolonized grain will contaminate.

3. Buy a 250 gram coco coir brick or disc. They are cheap, you can get them in pet stores, plant & garden nurseries, and online. It also comes in a variety of sizes, I am just going off of 250 gram since it is perfect for what I am recommending. I see them online for $29 for a 10 pack. That's $2.90 per brick - not amazing, but it's an okay price.

3. Buy fine vermiculite, grade 2-3, I think is the best but doesn't really matter. Use approximately 1 quart of it.

7. Add the 250 gram coco coir brick to the 1 quart of fine vermiculite, and add 2500ml of boiling water.
Insulate this; use a cooler, or you can do this in a big metal pot and simply wrap it in a towel.
This is slightly water heavy, but that is better in my experience then being too dry; you can always drain a bit later. Let it sit/soak and cool off to room temperature before proceeding. I prefer to set it sit for a solid 24 hours in a closed container (no need to be air tight, though).

8. Now, mix the 3 lbs of spawn into the approximately 6 lbs of bulk substrate. Mix it well.

8. Take two normal sized mushroom filter patch bags, that is 8x5x19 inches in size, and add half the substrate to one, and half the substrate to the other.

Fold the the tip of the bag down slightly (half inch or so from top), and paper clip it shut.

Cost per grow:
$5 for 3 lbs bag, plus shipping, likely $12.10 if you order only 1.
Coco coir: $2.90
Vermiculite: Anywhere from $7 or less
two filter patch bags (though, any gusseted bag that size would work fine, as would a clear plastic tote!): $1.

Total cost: $23, for 9 lbs!

Comparing to amazon: $28, for 3 lbs.


You may find the same product offered on Amazon on this sponsors main website though, and it might be cheaper, check it out there: www.out-grow.com

I think im gonna just buy a grain spawn bag then and mix it with coir and verm in a tub.

I dont have a pc so thats prolly the best option.

I need to hurry up and do my taxes so i can blow some money on this lmao.

Gotta spend money to make money(;
