Are you familiar with mycelium, but not sure exactly what it is or what the effects are? In this article we explain everything about this fascinating product. Mycelium is a network of fungal threads that grow underground. This is where the above-ground mushrooms originate. As you may have already seen, Avalon Magic Plants offers various grow kits. These grow kits contain everything you need to grow mushrooms or truffles yourself. It's very rewarding to watch your own batch grow!
What does '100% mycelium' mean?
A grow kit with 100% mycelium means that the nutrient medium is completely colonised with potential magic mushrooms. You can harvest faster (often within three weeks) and you really get the most out of your yield. With the 100% mycelium kits you don't even need to water the mushrooms, which makes the process extra straightforward.
More about our grow kits
The best thing about our grow kits is that we've adjusted the growing process so you can harvest your mushrooms in just a few weeks. Normally this can take months, even for professional growers. You can get the grow kits in different sizes: we offer medium grow kits with a capacity of 1200cc, but you can also order an XL grow kit with 2100cc. With the larger size you'll have a substantial stock of fresh mushrooms, more than enough for multiple sessions. That's why it's useful to know how to keep your mushrooms fresh.
How to keep your mushrooms fresh
If you grow mushrooms yourself, you'll quickly have more than you can use in one or two sessions. Want to keep them fresh for a few extra days? Simply put them in the fridge, where they'll stay good for about ten days. Want to store them for longer? Then it's best to dry them and keep them in a dark, dry place. That way they're fine to use for months without losing quality.
In our shroomshop you'll find all our magic mushrooms, so take a look at our range! At Avalon Magic Plants we've been helping growers since 2009. Have questions about our products? Don't hesitate to contact us.
