Description:

Grow your own wood-loving edible or medicinal mushrooms!

Our beginner-friendly monotub kit makes mushroom growing easy. Created by mycologists, this complete starter kit is equipped with everything you need to grow mushrooms at home. (All that's required is a spore syringe or liquid culture!)

The patent-pending design is optimized for all growers – whether you prefer lo-tech grows, or want to connect automated upgrades (like fresh air fans and humidity controls.) As an added bonus, the monotub is made with food-grade materials that are FDA-approved for contact with consumables.

The hardwood-based sterile substrates, injection port bag, and coco coir provide mediums for colonization, incubation, and growth. We've also included self-adhesive filters that fit over holes on the monotub lid to keep out foreign spores and other contaminants.

Key Features:

Each kit includes:

 

Boomr Bin monotub features:

  • Recessed base for stacking multiple monotubs.
  • Food-grade materials FDA-approved for contact with consumables.
  • Compact durable design holds up to 25 pounds of substrate.
  • Latches attached to base to prevent lid from popping off when picking up.
  • Extra large latches with recessed grips for easy lifting and transport.
  • Large rounded corners for easy cleaning and fewer places for contaminants to hide.
  • Row of 1” holes placed lower in the lid to prevent fuzzy stems.
  • Black light-blocking base helps colonization and aids in preventing side pinning.
  • Modular design accepts automated fresh air and humidity systems (coming soon!)
  • Dimensions: 22”(W) x 15”(D) x 11”(H)
Additional Details:

Spawn to bulk ratio:

We recommended mixing 1 colonized grain spawn bag with 2-3 Wood Lovr bags. (Higher inoculation rates may improve your success.) 

Important notice:

Coco coir should only be added once the Boomr Bin is fully colonized and pins begin to form. Only a thin layer of coco coir (approx. 1/2 inch) is necessary.

The patent-pending design is optimized for all growers – whether you prefer low-tech grows, or want to connect automated upgrades (like fresh air fans and humidity controls.)

  • Modular design accepts automated air exchange and humidification systems.
  • Compact durable design holds up to 20 pounds of substrate.
  • Latches attached to base to prevent lid from popping off when picking up.
  • Extra large latches with recessed grips for easy lifting and transport.
  • Food-grade materials are FDA-approved for contact with consumables.
  • Large rounded corners for easy cleaning and fewer places for contaminants to hide.
  • Row of 1” holes placed lower in lid to prevent fuzzy stems.
  • Black light-blocking base helps colonization and aids in preventing side pinning.

Cleaning instructions:

We recommend cleaning your monotub between each use to keep all surfaces as sterile as possible. Wipe down all surfaces to remove dirt and spores with a soft cloth soaked in warm water. Sanitize by spraying with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution inside and out. DO NOT use bleach or abrasives.

Our Wood Lovr is a wood chip-based sterile mushroom substrate formulated by mycologists for hardwood-loving species. The combination of micro-to-macro particle sizes of premium North American hardwood chips and sawdust plus nitrogen supplementation helps to speed up growth and maximize yield. Note: Substrate is hydrated to field capacity.

Spawn to bulk ratio:

We recommended mixing 1 colonized grain spawn bag with 2-3 Wood Lovr bags. (Higher inoculation rates may improve your success.) 

Best practices:

  • We recommend clean hands, latex or nitrile gloves, and sterile technique when using Wood Lovr to reduce the introduction of contaminants. 
  • Be sure to mix colonized grain spawn thoroughly into your substrate.
  • It is best practice to wait a minimum of 1 week after arrival before using sterile substrates to ensure they were not compromised during transit. Rest assured that your purchase is 100% guaranteed. If your substrate was compromised, we will replace it.

Our sterile grain bag with injection port was formulated by mycologists to maximize the speed and size of your mushroom grow. Each spawn bag contains 3 lbs of our proprietary blend featuring hydrated, nutrient-rich organic millet and wheat berries. Bags also include a self-healing injection port for use with a spore or culture syringe plus a 0.2 micron filter patch to block airborne contaminants while providing even gas exchange. Bag weighs 3 pounds. (Note: Bags are hydrated to field capacity.)

Spawn to bulk ratio:

We recommended mixing 1 colonized grain spawn bag with 2-3 Boomr Bags. (Higher inoculation rates may improve your success.) 

IMPORTANT: Coco coir should only be added once monotub is fully colonized and pins begin to form. Only a thin layer of coco coir (1/4 to 1/2 inch) is necessary.

Coco coir provides many benefits to the mushroom cultivation process. In addition to moisture retention, the porous structure of coir material enables good exchange of air and water and is highly resistant to contaminants making it ideal for mushroom growing. It is often used as casing, added to substrates, and is even used in garden beds as an alternative to peat moss. 

These self-adhesive filters are sized to fit over holes on the monotub. Use these in place of polyfill to keep out foreign spores and other contaminants while maintaining humidity and air exchange.

  • Each 2" sheet contains 6 filters.
  • Each 1" sheet contains 12 filters.

North Spore's products shall be used only for lawful purposes. North Spore does not condone Psilocybin (Psilocybe cubensis) or hallucinogenic (magic) mushroom growing in jurisdictions where it is currently illegal.
