Mushroom grow bags can be useful for many reasons. First, they act like mini fruiting chambers, providing a sterile and humid environment for the fungus to develop its fruiting organs. The bags also have a filter that prevents the air from getting dirty. Second, they can be used to store spent substrate.
What you should know about mushroom spores?
To grow mushrooms, you can either inject spores or liquid culture into the grow bag. When the mycelium grows in the grow bag, it will turn white. This signal means that the mushroom fungus is ready to produce fruiting bodies. When this happens, cut open the bag to provide it with oxygen and light. During this time, you should also mist the mycelium with water daily.
If you’re growing mushrooms indoors, it’s best to avoid plastic grow bags as they tend to tear easily. For best results, make sure that your grow bags are reusable and have air holes in them. These are important, because damaged bags may rob the mushrooms of their sterile environment. It’s also important to keep your work space clean.
Another benefit of using mushroom grow bags is their portability. Mushrooms can’t be carried from place to place if they’re in glass jars. Mushroom grow bags are light and easy to transport from one location to another. They also prevent contamination from weed spores.
