Cylocybe Special MycoPots Grow Kit

Since we launched the Cylocybe Special MycoPots Grow Kit in January 2019, it has become a top-selling option for those new to mushroom cultivation. The comprehensive online guide provides step-by-step instructions, ensuring even first-time growers can achieve success.

Why Choose the Cylocybe Special MycoPots Grow Kit?

This ‘all-in-one’ kit is ideal for novice cultivators. It’s cost-effective, efficient, and well-suited for cooler environments. Its forgiving nature in lower temperatures makes it a practical choice for those without access to an incubator.

Alternatively, for more experienced growers or those in warmer climates who would like a bigger yield of mushrooms, we recommend our MonoBox Grow Kit.

However, if you appreciate the simplicity of this kit and are willing to wait longer for a larger yield, consider our Cylocybe Special MycoBox Grow Kit.

Key Features

• Faster Colonisation: Colonises twice as fast as our MycoBox Grow Kit, delivering quicker results for eager growers.
• Versatile Substrate Compatibility: Therefore, supports the growth of nearly any mushroom species, offering flexibility for diverse cultivation projects.
• Dual Growing Potential: Grow two different species simultaneously, one in each MycoPot, for added variety and experimentation.
• Beginner-Friendly: Perfect for newcomers, providing a straightforward and reliable introduction to mushroom cultivation.
• Inject-thru™ System: Features our signature Inject-thru™ technology for easy, contamination-free inoculation.
• Simplified Process: Moreover, requires fewer steps compared to some other kits, like our MonoBox Grow Kit.
• Medium-Sized Yield: Produces enough gourmet mushrooms for yourself or sharing with a couple of friends.

Considerations

• Smaller overall harvest potential compared to our larger grow kits.
• May be too simplistic for those seeking a more hands-on learning experience – our MonoBox Grow Kit is better suited for advanced cultivation techniques.

Enhanced or Regular Version

The Enhanced version includes 1500mL of Perlite to maintain optimal humidity levels for mushroom growth. Additionally, it replaces the two small grow tents with a single, larger tent to accommodate both cakes.

If you prefer a more compact setup and are comfortable misting the cakes several times a day, the regular version will do just fine.
