We guarantee to start shipping on Mondays and typically ship batches throughout the week. Being a small 2 person operation this allows us to have all of our ducks in a row and ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. Some orders with agar may take longer due to stock. All agar is poured to order and sometimes I get backed up. If this happens just send me an email and we can figure out something that works for you! Mush love
We recommend ALL cultures to be tested on agar before use. If you receive an already contaminated product from us, please email us with photographic proof of contamination within 72 hours of receiving your product for a full refund or product replacement. We cannot guarantee USPS treats your package with as much love and care as we would like them to, so we do make sure to make it difficult for them to damage your package. If a package arrives broken, leaking, or ran over by a truck- please email us with photos of both product and packaging and we will ensure that we work with you to get it resolved.
Unfortunately we are currently unable to ship outside of the US. We apologize. This includes any APO, DPO, or MPO mail. WE WILL IMMEDIATELY CANCEL AND REFUND YOUR ORDER
Peace and freedom of mind body and spirit. Being secure in our natural born rights as human beings. Being honest in everything we do. Be good people to those around you. Spread kindness and love

General Growing
Mushrooms thrive in a controlled environment with high humidity (80-90%), moderate temperatures (60-75°F depending on the species), and good ventilation to ensure fresh air exchange.
A liquid culture is a nutrient-rich solution containing live mycelium that can be used to inoculate substrates. It allows for faster colonization and can be stored for future use if maintained properly.
Popular grains include rye, millet, or wheat. Rye is particularly favored because it provides an excellent balance of nutrients, moisture retention, and colonization speed.
Contamination refers to the presence of unwanted organisms, such as bacteria or mold. To prevent it, always use sterilized equipment, work in a clean environment, and maintain good airflow.
A healthy liquid culture will appear cloudy due to the mycelium growth, often showing a white, fluffy texture. Any unusual colors, foul odors, or film on the surface may indicate contamination.
- Grain spawn should be kept in a cool, dark place, ideally in the refrigerator, and used within 3-4 weeks for the best results. If you need to store it longer, consider freezing it in an airtight container.
Yes, but it’s not as straightforward. Store-bought mushrooms can be a source of spores. However, cloning from healthy specimens often provides better results than attempting to cultivate directly from purchased mushrooms.
The time can vary by species, but generally, it takes 2-6 weeks for the mycelium to colonize the substrate and an additional 1-3 weeks for fruiting bodies to develop under optimal conditions.
Common mistakes include using contaminated materials, not maintaining proper humidity and temperature, overcrowding your setup, and neglecting sterilization practices. Pay attention to detail and follow guidelines closely to increase your chances of success.
