From such a kit, it is possible to grow up to 10 kg of oyster mushrooms in several batches.
 Package contents:
 10 kg straw pellet mixture with lime
 2 kg mushroom mycelium (grey, pink or yellow oyster mushrooms – grey ones are the easiest to grow)
 5 heat-resistant mushroom growing bags with filter
 Preparatory work:
 Preparation of straw pellets:
 Pack the straw pellets into five bags, each bag weighing approximately 2.5 kg.
 Pour 5 liters of boiling water over each bag.
 The pellets will triple or quadruple their size.
 Seal the bags with glue, tape, pegs, or paper clips to keep them tightly closed.
 Wrap the bags with a blanket or other heat-insulating material to retain heat longer.
 Let the bags cool for 24 hours.
 Adding mycelium:
 The next day, when the bags have cooled, open them.
 Using clean hands or gloves, add mycelium to each bag.
 Close the bags and mix the mycelium with the substrate thoroughly by shaking the bag.
 Incubation period:
 Place the bags in a place where the temperature is 21-25°C.
 Keep the bags in these conditions for 2-4 weeks until the mycelium has completely taken over the substrate.
 Cultivation:
 Indoor cultivation:
 Once the mycelium has completely taken over the substrate, make small incisions in the bags.
 Ensure a high level of humidity in the room and a regular supply of fresh air.
 To provide even more humidity, you can place the bag in a bowl filled with water.
 Outdoor cultivation:
 Place the bags in a shady and humid place.
 Protect mushrooms from snails by placing the bags in bowls of water (snails cannot swim).
 Mushroom harvest time may differ from indoor cultivation.
 Harvesting:
 Harvest the mushrooms when they are large enough.
 Mushrooms can be harvested several times from one bag.
 Tips:
 To prevent mold growth, ensure good ventilation.
 If you notice mold, remove the infected substrate.
 Cook mushrooms as soon as possible after harvesting.
 It's a good idea not to grow all five bags at once, but to spread them out so you don't end up with too many mushrooms unexpectedly.
 Important:
 When preparing the substrate, follow safety precautions when working with boiling water.
 Store the mycelium in a cool, dark place.
 Additionally, you can mix bran into one of the bags before pouring, which will increase the mushroom yield.
 Adding bran increases the risk that other molds will take advantage of the substrate, so try adding bran to just one/two bags the first time to see how well it works for you. c
 Bran should not be put more than 200-300 g per bag.
