MonoBox™ Mushroom Grow Kit

The MonoBox™ Mushroom Grow Kit is now our most popular kit and we’re so glad customers love using it as much as we loved developing it.

Following our process will teach you essential skills in mushroom cultivation, from inoculation to transferring spawn to substrate… don’t worry if these terms are brand new to you – we have very detailed online instructions to guide you each through each step!

You’ll have lots of fun along the way, getting involved with proper hands-on experience and oh, the satisfaction when you harvest that first flush of your lovely gourmet mushrooms you’ve nurtured all the way from their beginnings as spores.

When you feel confident enough with your skills, which won’t take you long, you can try some other methods like adding mycelium to your SpawnTubs from Agar or grain-to-grain transfers – these are quicker and cleaner inoculation options that the MonoBox™ Grow Kit offers to those with more experience and this, along with excellent success rates, keeps customers coming back again and again.

You Will Need

The kit does not come with any mushroom spores. You will need to source 1.5–2 ml of gourmet spore/culture solution for the XL and 3–4 ml 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 colonised 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.

Inoculation Options:

Spore/Culture Syringe
This method is explained in the guide. You will inject 1.5–2 ml of solution into each SpawnTub through the rubber Inject-thru port in the lid.

G2G
If you have a SpawnTub full of colonised grain and wish you had more, fast, then simply open your SpawnTub inside a clean area, like a home-made Still-Air Box, and shake some of those mycelium-covered grains into a new SpawnTub (or 5 or 20!) and in just a few days watch as those new SpawnTubs explode with white mushroom mycelium!

You see, all those grains are inoculation points and can accelerate colonisation to completion in just a few days. Our SpawnTubs are superior to grain bags.

Agar
Trading mushroom samples on agar and want to grow that exciting species? No problem, with the MonoBox Grow Kit you can simply open the lid and transfer a wedge into the SpawnTub!
