Using the Magic Bag is simple. Inject your liquid culture or spores into the mushroom grow bag. Keep the bag in a warm, dark environment with no light (between 72 and 80 degrees is ideal). Wait a week or two.
Once the bag starts turning white (that stuff’s called “mycelium”), give it a shake to make sure the mycelium spreads throughout the whole bag. Wait another few weeks.
Once the bag turns completely white, your mycelium are ready to become mushrooms. Cut the bag open to give them some air and a little light (a few mists of water from a spray bottle every few days helps too). Pin the side of the bag with the provided paper clip so it’s loosely closed with enough room for a little air to seep in. Your Magic Bag should start producing mushrooms in another week or two. Pick them right before the cap separates from the stem. Your mushroom grow bag will keep producing mushrooms for another week or so (each crop of mushrooms is called a “flush” – your Magic Bag should produce 2 or 3 flushes). Once it’s done producing mushrooms the insides of the bag can be composted and the plastic bag can be recycled at a designated soft plastics recycling bin.
