Best for your first grow. Grow Blue Oyster, Pearl Oyster or Lion’s Mane at home with a hardwood all-in-one grow bag, a 10 ml liquid culture and the essential supplies. No pressure cooker or flow hood required.

What is included

  • One sterile hardwood and wheat-bran all-in-one grow bag with a grain layer, filter patch and self-healing injection port

  • One 10 ml liquid-culture syringe for your selected mushroom

  • One sterile 18G needle, one alcohol wipe and one pair of black nitrile gloves

  • Printed species-specific instructions and growing support from Artisan Mushrooms

Choose your mushroom

Blue Oyster: A vigorous choice for beginners, especially in cooler fruiting conditions.

Pearl Oyster: A versatile classic with pale-grey mushroom clusters.

Lion’s Mane: A distinctive white gourmet mushroom. Pay particular attention to humidity and fresh-air exchange during fruiting.

From inoculation to harvest

Follow the included instructions to clean the injection port and inject the culture into the grain layer. Keep the bag sealed during colonisation, mix the grain through the hardwood substrate when instructed, then allow the full block to colonise before introducing fruiting conditions.

Growing times vary with species, temperature and conditions. The kit is ready to inoculate; it still needs to colonise before fruiting.

Freshly prepared to order

Dispatch may take up to 5 business days. Delivery time is additional. See our shipping policy for delivery information and destination restrictions.

Plan your next grow

Try more varieties: Explore 3, 5 or 10 liquid-culture packs. Each additional grow needs its own hardwood grow bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before starting your first mushroom grow.

What is included in the Beginner Mushroom Grow Kit?

The kit includes:

  • One sterile hardwood and wheat-bran grow bag with a grain layer, filter patch and self-healing injection port
  • One 10 ml mushroom liquid-culture syringe
  • One sterile 18G needle
  • One alcohol wipe
  • One pair of black nitrile gloves
  • One black 100 ml fine-mist spray bottle
  • Printed species-specific growing instructions
  • Growing support from Artisan Mushrooms
Which mushroom should I choose?

Blue Oyster is vigorous, fast-colonising and particularly suitable for cooler fruiting conditions.

Pearl Oyster is a reliable and versatile all-round choice for beginners.

Lion’s Mane is a distinctive hardwood-loving gourmet mushroom that benefits from good humidity and regular fresh-air exchange.

Do I need specialist equipment?

No. You do not need a pressure cooker, flow hood or specialist laboratory equipment. The grow bag remains sealed during inoculation and colonisation.

How do I inoculate the grow bag?

Clean the self-healing injection port with the supplied alcohol wipe, attach the sterile needle and inject the liquid culture directly into the grain layer at the bottom of the grow bag.

Do not open the grow bag. Full species-specific instructions are included.

When should I mix the grow bag?

Allow the grain layer to develop strong, healthy white mycelium before mixing it through the hardwood substrate.

After mixing, lightly tamp the bag down to reform a compact block. The included instructions explain when and how to complete this step.

How long will the mushrooms take to grow?

Timing varies depending on the mushroom species, temperature, culture vitality and growing conditions. Colonisation normally takes several weeks, followed by the fruiting stage.

How should I store the liquid culture before use?

Store the liquid-culture syringe in a refrigerator at approximately 2–8°C until you are ready to use it. Do not freeze it.

Does the kit include growing support?

Yes. Artisan Mushrooms provides support with inoculation, colonisation and fruiting.

For the most useful advice, include the mushroom species, relevant dates, growing conditions and a clear photograph where possible.

Is the kit prepared fresh to order?

Yes. Each kit is prepared fresh to order. Please allow up to 15 working days for preparation and dispatch during busy periods.
