Melmac Thrasher Magic Mushroom Grow Kit - Your way to successful mushroom growing

The Melmac Thrasher grow kit contains

• Fully colonised substrate: The substrate is already grown with Melmac Thrasher mycelium and ready for fruiting.
• Grow bag with air filter: Ensures optimal air circulation and protects against contamination.
• Substrate humidifier: Helps maintain the necessary humidity during the growing process.

Easy to use

• Preparation: Open the kit and place in the supplied grow bag.
• Humidification: Regularly spray the humidification substrate with water to ensure optimum humidity.
• Grow: Place the kit in a warm, indirectly lit location.
• Harvest: You can harvest your first fresh Melmac Thrasher mushrooms within 10 to 14 days.

High yield and quality

Why choose the Melmac Thrasher kit?

• Complete kit: everything you need to get started is included.
• User-friendly: ideal for beginners and professionals thanks to its easy handling.
• Fast results: first harvest in just 10 to 14 days.
• High quality: fresh and potent Melmac Thrasher mushrooms from your own cultivation.

IMPORTANT:

• Always and without exception, thoroughly wash and disinfect hands, forearms and all work surfaces before working with a grow kit.

• Close windows and doors to prevent microorganisms from drafts.

• Always wear a mask to avoid inhaling spores and contaminating the mycelium/cake with your own breath.

• Do not open the grow kit before it is in the grow bag.

• Grow kits should always be used immediately upon receipt and should only be stored in exceptional circumstances. A grow kit can last up to 4 weeks, well packed at 3-5°C in the refrigerator. However, no guarantee is given. 

Brief instructions for growing the grow kit:

• Remove the enclosed grow bag from the box.

• Fill 200-300ml of still water (not tap water) into the grow bag (not into the grow kit).

• Place the grow kit into the grow bag filled with water.

• Now remove the lid of the shroom grow kit in the grow bag

• Wash the lid under running water and stow it away for future harvests

• Spray the open grow kit with some still mineral water using a spray bottle with an aerosol sprayer (again, do not use tap water)

• Close the top of the grow bag with two to three paper clips or tape to seal it so that sufficient humidity can build up. 

• Place the shroom grow bag in a warm place with plenty of indirect light where the temperature is a constant 18-26°C (don't put it in direct sunlight!); although magic mushrooms grow in the temperature range indicated, for optimal yields, keep the temperature at a constant 24°C. A thermal mat can help, but will not compensate for a room that is too cold.

• Ventilate the grow kit once a day by briefly opening the grow bag and spraying one spray from your atomizer on each side of the grow bag; avoid spraying the mycelium/cake directly; then close the grow bag again as usual.

• The first mushrooms should be visible after about two weeks.

Quick guide to harvesting the magic mushroom grow kit

Cleanliness is the number one priority when harvesting magic mushrooms. Wash hands and forearms well with antibacterial soap and always wear sterile gloves. It is very important to harvest the mushrooms as soon as the veils under the hats of the mushrooms begin to break away from the mushroom stem. If you wait too long past this point, the growkit will most likely not produce any more harvests. Be sure to harvest in a timely manner.Grab mushrooms by the stem and gently twist and pull them out. It is very important not to just pull, as this can damage the mycelium inside the grow kit and then cause it to perform worse in future harvests. After picking, the stems may turn bluish, but this is normal and even speaks for the quality of the mushrooms. 

Additional harvests:

• Remove the grow kit from the grow bag after harvesting and fill it up from the bottom about 1cm - 2cm with still mineral water.

• Put the stored lid back on the grow kit and put the kit so 2 hours in the refrigerator.

• After 2 hours, carefully open one of the corners of the lid and carefully pour off excess water. It is normal that little water remains and the amount of water varies from grow kit to grow kit.

• Begin at point 1 of the grow line and harvest the next mushrooms in a few weeks. This process can be repeated several times. 

• The grow kit has reached the end of its life cycle when no new mushrooms have formed after at least three weeks or the kit turns green, red, gray or yellow, as this indicates contamination by other microorganisms. Please dispose of grow kits directly off-site and do not put them in household waste.
