Reishi Kit

All-in-One, Do-It-Yourself, Learn-as-You-Grow Mushroom Kit

Learn how to grow your own gourmet, organic Reishi mushrooms from scratch at home!

Mushroom cultivation can become complex, but it can also be simple, fun and rewarding. This kit walks you through the process from start to finish so you can learn while you grow your own supremely medicinal Reishi mushrooms.

A perfect homeschool science project and an ideal gift for the mushroom lover in your life, this kit comes with instructions and everything you need to try mushroom cultivation for yourself, no equipment or experience necessary.

All-in-One

This kit is designed as a completely self-contained mushroom cultivation system. Just open the box and dive in!

Do-It-Yourself

Unlike most mushroom kits, which arrive fully grown, this kit walks you through the whole process from beginning to end—inoculation to harvest—so you get to experience the wonder and excitement of watching the mycelium grow, from a few invisible clusters of cells, to beautiful bouquets of healing medicine, right there on your kitchen counter.

Learn-As-You-Grow

For many of us, the best way to learn something new is to try it for ourselves. With the guidance of detailed, carefully written step-by-step instructions, you will get a good sense of the whole process of mushroom cultivation and gain invaluable first-hand experience. As your mushrooms grow, so may your love of all things fungi. This kit is meant to be a perfect first step on what will hopefully become a lifelong journey. No matter how far you choose to wander down this path, there is truly no end to the knowledge that awaits your discovery.

Each kit includes:

• a detailed step-by-step instruction booklet with great tidbits for newcomers to mushroom cultivation
• a liquid culture syringe of the Reishi variety of your choice
• a grow-bag full of organic, supplemented hardwood mushroom substrate, lovingly prepared, sterilized and ready to inoculate
• a plastic grow tent to keep things humid during the final stages
• a small water mister, alcohol swab, sterile needle, and an "Amateur Mycologist" lapel pin

The process involves inoculating sterilized mushroom substrate with a liquid culture and incubating it for about 3 weeks. Once it's fully grown, you will tend the crop as the mushrooms emerge and mature, and harvest 2-4 "flushes" over the following weeks.
