If you’re new to mushroom cultivation and want a cost-effective, fast and straightforward solution, this kit is perfect for you.
Cylocybe Special MycDrop Grow Kit
Based on our highly successful Cylocybe Special MycoBox Grow Kit, we designed this mushroom grow kit for rapid growth and simplicity. In addition, this versatile system can cultivate almost any mushroom species you choose, including Shiitake, any Oyster mushroom variety and Lion’s Mane.
Why Choose this Kit?
The Cylocybe Special MycDrop Grow Kit works particularly well in cooler environments because it tolerates lower temperatures and doesn’t require an incubator.
For more experienced growers or those in warmer climates, who would like a more hands-on experience, we recommend our MonoBox Grow Kit.
Alternatively, if you prefer the simplicity of this kit but want a larger harvest and don’t mind waiting longer, check out our Cylocybe Special MycoBox Grow Kit.
Key Benefits of the Cylocybe Special MycDrop Grow Kit
- It colonises twice as fast as our MycoBox Grow Kit.
- The substrate supports virtually any mushroom species.
- It’s the perfect starter grow kit for beginners.
- Our signature Inject-thru™ system ensures simple and clean inoculations.
- It requires fewer steps compared to our MonoBox Grow Kit.
- It produces medium-sized harvests, ideal for personal use or sharing with friends.
- The 1-inch substrate depth works perfectly for cultivating rarer gourmet species.
Considerations
- This kit yields a smaller overall harvest compared to our larger mushroom cultivation kits.
- You’ll need to mist it occasionally to maintain humidity.
- It may feel too simplistic for those seeking a more hands-on learning experience. For advanced techniques, we recommend our MonoBox Grow Kit.
Enhanced or Regular Version
The Enhanced version includes 1500mL of Perlite to provide additional humidity for your mushrooms. However, if you prefer a more compact setup and don’t mind occasional misting, the regular version of the grow kit will suffice.
