MonoBox™ Mushroom Grow Kit
The MonoBox Mushroom Grow Kit is the only kit you need to properly grow your mushrooms at home. Our most popular kit is a step up from our previous UK No.1 selling grow kit (the Cylocybe Special MycoBox) and will transport you to another dimension!
Do I need the new enhanced versions?
Simple answer:
No. If your home is warm or you have an incubator, you don’t need this.
Long answer:
Our new enhanced version comes with pre-hydrated and sterile substrate, meaning you don’t have to prepare and sanitise the substrate yourself in the microwave as you’re used to doing.
With the substrate being sterile, and not merely sanitised, we wanted to introduce this as an option for those with cold homes during this time of year.
Temperature matters even more so when you’re mixing sanitised (not sterile) substrate with colonised grain spawn, because slow-growing mycelium can give a non-sterile substrate the opportunity to contaminate and ruin the batch.
When the temperature is right, healthy mycelium races through a substrate, almost always outcompeting other microbes in the process. However, being too hot or too cold disrupts this balance big time. With Enhanced, you’ll be mixing your colonised grain spawn with as-clean-as-you-can-get substrate, affording you much higher success rates. We will offer this kit only during the cooler months, because it requires significant room and time to produce basically doubling the work and steriliser space to produce this kit.

You’ll need
The kit does not come with any gourmet mushroom spores. You will need to source 1.5-2ml of gourmet spore/culture solution for the XL, 3-4ml for the XXL. It’s important not to add any more than this.
Why the MonoBox Grow Kit is Brilliant
Unlike traditional grow kits, which omit the steps of mixing spawn and substrate by hand, our MonoBox Grow Kit has you breaking all of the ‘rules’ and getting your hands dirty (literally) by mixing your healthy colonized grain spawn with substrate before taking it to the fruiting tent to watch your mushrooms grow into monsters (hopefully!).
We can’t wait for you to experience mushroom cultivation with a kit that we would have killed for back when we first got into mushrooms in our teens in 2005.
In the future, when you’re ready to try your hands at powerful techniques such as Agar or G2G (grain to grain) transfers, you’ll feel right at home with our MonoBox Grow Kit.
Please Note
Sometimes we run out of SpawnTubs™, if that happens – we will provide a SpawnBox™ instead. Same amount of grain spawn, same advanced SacO2 filter technology, just a different container.
Sterility Guaranteed
Every MonoBox Mushroom Grow Kit that we ship out undergoes our strict sterilization process so that you can be sure you have the best chance of success. And if you do notice an issue before you’ve used it, we’ll make things right! Just answer a few questions, send us some photographs, and we’ll try to diagnose the problem.
