Having your spawn in a grow bag allows you to break up your spawn easily in order to mix it and speed up colonization. It also makes it easier for spreading your spawn to a bulk substrate. Anyone who has tried to pull well colonized spawn out of a grain jar knows that sometimes it just doesn't want to come out.

While this can be good, airflow is also important and small enclosed spaces can cause your mushrooms to suffer from lack of oxygen. We recommend placing your grow kit on your kitchen bench, out of direct sunlight.

If the culture doesn't look uniform you may shake it for a few seconds to disperse the mycelium or spores.

How Many Times Can You Use a Grow Bags? You can reuse fabric grow bags & potato grow bags over and over many times. As per some kind of studies they can last up to 10 years or more, reliant on the quality of the fabric utilized to build them, and how well you take care of them.

Grow bags are easier to break down, and they're cheaper overall. You get far more bang for your buck than with mason jars. They can also hold more grain overall. As the mycelium colonizes the grain, your yield will be much higher than in more compact substrate jars.

You can harvest mushrooms 4–5 times or even more for domestic use with proper management of Mushroom bags and using superior quality spawn. However, for commercial production, harvesting three times( three flushes) is considered viable.

The higher the inoculation rate or amount of spawn added to the substrate, the faster the mycelium will grow through the substrate. The substrate likely will not produce a larger amount of mushrooms, so a high inoculation rate means more money spent on spawn per pound of mushrooms.

On the other hand, brown paper bags offer the ideal balance of air circulation and moisture absorption, ensuring your mushrooms stay fresh for a more extended period.
