Grow your own mushrooms
Sterilized tube containing 15 ml or 50 ml of Shiitake mycelium.
Growing Shiitake is easy to do, it is within the reach of any mushroom lover.
The mycelium contained in this laboratory tube must be diluted in sugar water before being spread on a substrate.
Before spreading your mycelium, prepare your sugar water mixture:
Bottled mineral water is ideal, it has less chlorine and has the advantage of being packaged in a sanitized environment.
Empty about 10% of the water in the water bottle so you can add syrup (apple or lemon syrup based on glucose and above all without preservatives, approximately 10% of the volume of water).
Then add the mycelium contained in the tube at a rate of 10ml per liter of sugar water mixture.
i.e. 15ml for a 1.5 liter bottle and 50ml for a 5 liter bottle.
Your mixture must then remain protected from light in a room at 20° minimum for at least 4 to 5 days for the mycelium to develop.
So you can multiply the mycelium in large quantities, it can be kept cool and protected from light for several months.
Then inoculate your substrate with your mycelium mixture (plastic bag filled with coffee grounds, straw, wood shavings, compost, etc.).
It is also grown on dead branches of deciduous trees pierced with holes into which the mycelium is introduced or on logs of wood
You will find several substrate recipes on the web (on dead wood, on a bale of straw, in bags, in bottles,...).
If conditions are ideal, the mycelium can live for several years on dead wood or compost and grow in your garden.
The tube is vacuum packed and delivered with instructions for use.
