Description
Our 5 lb Ready-to-Fruit Mushroom Block gives home growers a convenient way to grow fresh gourmet mushrooms without preparing grain or substrate. Each block arrives fully colonized and ready to move into fruiting conditions. Choose from available mushroom varieties and enjoy the hands-on experience of producing mushrooms at home.
5 lb Ready-to-Fruit Mushroom Block
Boise Mushroom Company prepares these mushroom blocks for growers who want to skip the earlier stages of cultivation. The substrate has already been prepared, inoculated, and colonized. Therefore, you can concentrate on providing the environmental conditions needed for fruiting.
Each block contains approximately 5 lb of colonized mushroom substrate. Available cultivars may vary, so choose your preferred mushroom from the options currently listed on the product page.
Choose Your Gourmet Mushroom Variety
Available varieties can include Shiitake, Bear’s Head, Lion’s Mane, Blue Oyster, Black Pearl Oyster, Chestnut, and Pearl Oyster. Availability may change as different cultures and batches move through our production schedule.
Different mushroom varieties require different fruiting conditions. For that reason, temperature, humidity, fresh air, and fruiting time should be adjusted for the cultivar you select.
Prepared for the Fruiting Stage
A ready-to-fruit block removes several preparation steps from mushroom cultivation. There is no need to hydrate and sterilize substrate or inoculate the block yourself. Instead, the colonized block can move directly into an appropriate fruiting environment.
Once fruiting conditions are provided, watch the block for mushroom formation and development. The process offers an excellent way to observe the fruiting stage while gaining practical mushroom-growing experience.
Great for Home Mushroom Growers
These blocks work well with a suitable fruiting chamber, grow tent, or mushroom grow box. They can also be a practical option for growers who already have a controlled fruiting area.
Because the preparation and colonization stages are already complete, these blocks are suitable for beginners. However, experienced cultivators can also use them when they want a convenient way to add another mushroom variety to their fruiting room.
