SHIITAKE: Grow Kit Instructions
Learn how to grow Shiitake mushrooms using the Myterra Labs
Embarking on the exciting journey of growing mushrooms? The choice between a fruiting chamber and a fruiting bag might be a tough one. Let’s explore the factors and various fruiting chamber designs to help you make an informed decision.
Factors to Consider:
1. Type of Mushroom
Different mushrooms have specific needs. Consider humidity, fresh air exchange, and carbon dioxide concentrations. Oyster mushrooms, for example, thrive with ample fresh air, making a fruiting chamber with proper ventilation ideal. On the other hand, shiitake and maitake are content in a humid environment and can flourish in a fruiting chamber.
2. Growing Environment
For those without a large climate-controlled space, a fruiting chamber becomes a practical solution. Whether you use heating mats, ice baths, or maintain humidity through substrate evaporation or moist perlite, a fruiting chamber offers a controlled environment.
Types of Mushroom Fruiting Chambers:
1. Monotub
The most common and user-friendly type, a monotub is a plastic container with substrate, ventilation holes, and a lid. Ideal for top-fruiting mushrooms, it’s a “set and forget” chamber. Max Yield Bins, like the V2 tapered design, and Boomer Shroomer Inflatable Bins are excellent examples, creating high-humidity environments while redirecting condensation drops away from your growing surface.

2. Shotgun Fruiting Chamber (SGFC)
Similar to a monotub but with smaller, shotgun-like ventilation holes, SGFCs maintain humidity with a layer of moist perlite. Fruiting bags or exposed fruiting blocks rest on top of the perlite, providing a practical alternative.
3. Martha Tent
Comprising a shelving unit covered in plastic sheeting, the Martha tent is excellent for small-scale growing. It accommodates humidifiers and fans for optimal air circulation.
