Reishi ready-to-use culture in a myco-bag

Grow your own reishi and use your harvest to make tea. The Myko Bag contains an already colonized culture. Follow its glossy, distinctive fruiting bodies as they grow towards harvest.

What is included

• An already colonized culture weighing approximately 2.5 to 3 kg in total
• A mushroom culture in a Myko Bag
• Instructions for starting and caring for the culture

The weight refers to the culture, not to your eventual mushroom harvest.

Harvest reishi and prepare it as tea

Reishi develops more slowly than oyster mushrooms. Depending on airflow and growing conditions, it forms antler-like or fan-shaped fruiting bodies with a glossy surface.

You can dry the harvested mushrooms, cut them into pieces and simmer them in water to make tea. Try our reishi tea recipe with cinnamon and honey.

Growing instructions: step by step

1. Place the bag in a bright spot out of direct sunlight and keep it fully closed at first. Lift the loose plastic above the block to give the mushrooms room.
2. Wait until the branching mushrooms reach the upper part of the bag. Only then cut off the sealed tip. Leave the remaining plastic around the block; cuts in the sides are not needed.
3. Check moisture after opening. Mist sparingly if the air is dry, avoiding standing water. Do not add a humidity cover.
4. Allow several weeks to months for growth. Harvest at the base when growth has stopped for a prolonged period, and no later than the first appearance of brown spores.

Good to know

You receive a living culture. Start following the instructions soon after delivery. Each culture develops a little differently; its shape, size and growing time depend on location and care.
