• special complex of minerals.

Thanks to these components, you can grow home fruiting bodies for use in cooking.

2. Dilute the mineral complex for germination in water and spray it with soil in a box.
3. Put it in the chosen place, preferably dark and not hot.

5. The first crop will appear at the site of the cut box in 4-5 weeks.

Each such set has a detailed instruction with drawings that will help you do everything right and get the desired result.

Customer reviews

Below are the reviews of real buyers who tried to grow different types of mushrooms at home using Canadian technology:

Ivan: “I cultivated oyster mushrooms in my garage for quite some time, I like the process, and I use the result with pleasure. Definitely, the process is not easy and time-consuming, requiring constant attention. I was pleasantly surprised by the simplified technology that came from overseas. Now I grow more chanterelles. "

Sergey: “Despite some skepticism, I tried a set with white mushroom mycelium, bought in an online store. The harvest was quite decent, there are no complaints about the taste. The ease of care is a real surprise. I advise you to pay attention to the company offering the product and the availability of relevant documents, as there are a lot of Chinese and domestic counterparts that do not work and cause negative. ”

Marina: “I bought a wonderful box with mushrooms, I did everything according to the instructions, I did not get any result. I watered the soil thoroughly, but nothing grew. On the website of the store, quality certificates were presented. In general, I received unjustified expectations of my own fungi without chemicals. I don’t believe in the work of the method and I consider it a fairy tale for adult lovers to grow something. ”

Margot: “The idea to grow such a product on your balcony is great. This is a find for people who love and value everything organic and without chemistry. I tried to grow such mushrooms, as I really like to add them to my dishes. The result quickly disappointed, because the harvest is very small, and reluctance to wait for the next. I considered that at the prices of this type in the store it’s cheaper for me to buy them every 5 times. The method works, but I think it is necessary to improve it so that the amount of yield is at least twice as much. ”
