ALL-IN-ONE DUNG MASTER GROW BAG INSTRUCTIONS

Welcome to the captivating world of mushroom cultivation with the All-in-One Dung Master Grow Bag!

From Tripping Store, your gateway to discovering the profound secrets of dung-loving fungi!

Harness the Power of Premium Horse Manure

This specialized grow bag is uniquely prepared with premium horse manure, a choice substrate that enriches the growing environment. Horse manure is rich in organic matter and nutrients, which are crucial for the healthy growth of mushrooms. It not only boosts the potency but also enhances the flavor of your mushroom fruits, setting the stage for a successful and rewarding cultivation experience.

Step 1: Initiate the Magic – Sow Your Spores!

• Clean Start: Wipe the injection port with an alcohol pad to ensure sterility.
• Inject Your Spores: Introduce spores into the bag using a sterilized syringe. The spores will germinate into mycelium, the actual fungus that will eventually produce mushrooms.

Step 2: Colonization – The Quiet Growth

• Crucial Climate: Keep the temperature between 24°C and 27°C to support mycelium development. Mycelium thrives in warm conditions, which simulate its natural tropical or subtropical origins.
• Shadowed Retreat: Store the bag in a dim area like a closet to simulate natural conditions. Mushrooms grow best in low light, mimicking their natural understory habitats.

Step 3: Enhance the Spell – Mix Again!

• Redistribute Mycelium: After 30% of the bag shows mycelium growth, mix again for even colonization. This helps nutrients reach all parts of the mycelium, ensuring uniform growth.

Step 4: Consolidation – Strengthening the Mycelium

Benefits of Consolidation: Let the mycelium consolidate for about a week post-colonization to fortify the network before fruiting. This phase strengthens the mycelium, making it resilient and ready to produce mushrooms.

Step 5: Fruiting – Let There Be Soft Light

• Gentle Light: Move the bag to a softly lit area with good air flow to initiate fruiting. Mushrooms need light not for photosynthesis, like plants, but as a signal that they have reached the environment’s surface, encouraging them to produce fruits (mushrooms).
• Air and Light: Ensure continuous fresh air and soft light for optimal growth. Fresh air and proper lighting are crucial for healthy mushroom development.

Step 5.1: Make an Incision for Air Exchange

Air Exchange: After consolidation, make a small 3-4 inch cut in the bag to enhance air exchange, critical for fruiting. Air exchange helps to reduce carbon dioxide build-up and supplies fresh oxygen, which mushrooms need to fruit.

Step 5.2: Maintain Humidity

Humidity Control: Mist the bag’s interior sides every two days to keep humidity optimal. High humidity is vital as it prevents the mushrooms from drying out and stimulates the growth of mushroom pins.

Pinning Phase: The First Signs of Mushrooms

First Signs: Look for tiny pin-like structures, the precursors to your mushrooms. These ‘pins’ will develop into the mushrooms you harvest.

Step 6: Harvesting – The Magical Reveal

Harvesting: Harvest mature mushrooms by cutting or twisting at the base. This method ensures minimal damage to the remaining mycelium, allowing for possible future flushes of mushrooms.
