How to use it

What is in the kit

The single kit is one 3 lb bag of sterilized milo grain spawn and one 5 lb bag of CV Prime substrate, matched for one grow. The double kit is twice that, 6 lb of grain spawn and 10 lb of CV Prime, at a lower price per pound.

It is a grain and substrate kit, sometimes called a spawn to bulk kit: everything for the bulk stage, matched by weight so you are not left with half a bag of either. Both bags arrive ready: the grain is pressure-sterilized in a filter-patch bag with a self-healing injection port, and CV Prime is pasteurized coco coir and vermiculite at field capacity. You add live mycelium of the gourmet species you want to grow.

Included and not included

Included Not included
3 lb (single) or 6 lb (double) of sterilized milo grain spawn Live mycelium of your chosen species (you add it)
5 lb (single) or 10 lb (double) of CV Prime substrate A fruiting spot with fresh air and humidity
Filter patches and a self-healing injection port A pressure cooker (you will not need one)

From kit to harvest

Stage Typical time Conditions
Colonize the grain 2 to 4 weeks 21 to 24°C (70 to 75°F), dark
Spawn to bulk and colonize 10 to 14 days 21 to 24°C (70 to 75°F), closed bag
First harvest (oysters) About 5 to 10 days after fruiting starts Fresh air, 85 to 95% humidity, indirect light
Second flush 1 to 2 weeks after resting and rehydrating As above

Every stage is covered in detail in how to grow oyster mushrooms on CV substrate, and how to get a second flush helps you get more from the same bag.

Who it is for

  • First grows: the simplest way to try growing gourmet mushrooms without a pressure cooker or a lab.
  • Regular growers: a consistent, matched pair, so every run starts from the same place.
  • Gifts: add a fruiting spot and some patience, and it makes a great present for a keen cook or gardener.

Shipping and the guarantee

Ships from California in 1 to 2 business days, usually UPS Ground, with live rates shown at checkout. If a bag arrives contaminated or damaged, send us a photo within 7 days of delivery and we replace or refund it.
