All in One Mushroom Grow Bag

I inoculated in less than 1 minute. The mycelium got to an easy 30%, and I broke it apart, making sure to mix all of the ingredients in the bag 2 separate times. In the end, I had a very happy, very healthy mycelium, and a substrate with a great structure (thank you straw for being fibrous it's great for structure). I did submerge the substrate in the bag before the first flush and sprinkled some vermiculite. But other than scraping, submerging, and casing, this bag had basically been doing 100% of the work. I am just about to do a 4th, and maybe even a 5th flush.

Been using this product for several years now. It’s a great option when you don’t have time to do it yourself. I’ve never had an issue with the product but I believe that the vendor would do what’s necessary to maintain a good relationship should something go wrong on their end.I’ve had these blocks fruit for as long as four months in a shotgun fruiting chamber which any mixologist knows speaks volumes for the quality of this vendor’s products.And I usually get my orders really fast, it’s usually several days before Amazon predicts.

** moved from 2 stars to 1 star.**This deserves explanation that pinpoints the bags as the problem. Purchased 3 bags two syringes (two strains) and made some killer homemade Agar (personal recipe) for petri jars (poly fill breather and silicon injection port)Order of events:In sterile environment (bleached room, hepa filtered for 2 days) also created a glove box. I used 21 gauge needles to ensure self healing ports closed (18 gauge that come with syringes are too big in my opinion.A. inoculated two Out-Grow bags flame sterilized needle. (alcohol on injection ports)B. Using same needle and spores inoculated 6 separate petri jarsC. Using second spore syringe and needle, again inoculated Out-Grow bag first.D. Using same sport syringe, inoculated 6 of its own petri jarsE. Inoculated homemade popcorn spawn jars (silicon and poly-fill tek) prone to contamination I know, but this is one sterile environment... Proving very successful I might add.*** In short, two bags showing major contamination and stunted growth (different strains) despite being in same environment as all other homemade spawning jars which have zero contamination (albeit some have stalled). I inoculated the bags first because I thought they were the sure thing. It seems my homemade tek is significantly better and WAY LESS EXPENSIVE after fixed costs recovered.** One bag did perform nicely and is still colonizing well hence the two stars not one **I get that making substrate in bulk and transporting them must have increased contamination challenges. Granted I am newer to this hobby, but I think my controls speak for themselves.I have taken petri Jars and done mycelium transfers to homemade substrate jars and also don't have any sign of contamination yet either. All in the same environments as the Out-Grow bags. Sorry Out-Grow, this highly suggests your bags have a contamination defect (maybe filter or self healing port doesn't self heal).Only about 75 fresh grams of mushroom. I will grant that they were HIGH potency of nutritional value, but not much in the way of yield.

The quality of the bag is questionable, the plastic is semi rigid, and the way the straw was packed in my bag almost punctured the plastic, plus micro holes on the folds so i micropore taped them all over. First LC did not inoculate, waited a month was going to refund but decided to repurpose it with a full 10cc dormant pearl oyster LC and a week later was visibly colonizing. 🍄❤️🤙Lots of reviews on here complaining about contaminated bags from spore syringe, thats on you guys, spores are not clean, it a roulette of possible contamination if putting directly to grain, thats why you put them on agar to isolate the genetics and remove contamination, use liquid culture syringe or agar transfers to grain. Thank you OutGrow!

I have had four very successful grows using these bags. Colonization was quick in the right temp range. Once half colonized mixed up the bag and allowed it to colonize again. Once pins started to show I used plasti dip paint to block light to the substrate and poked some pinholes right above the substrate. Then ventilated and misted daily with very nice yields. Very easy and no contamination. I have tried several different methods to produce and this one was the least amount of hassle and performed better than expected. Of course you can use other TEK's to achieve the same thing but this is easy. It is well worth the money and when I need another batch of fungus I will purchase again!

Not sure what I did wrong… The mushrooms didn’t grow out

Not sure if it's hay/strawAnd if that's what puts off a different smell than I'm used to.Never used this brand or styleI will rate once I see if it grows mycelium
