Mushroom Network Countertop Fruiting Chamber - Terracotta

Description

The Mushroom Network Countertop Fruiting Chamber - Terracotta is an attractive ceramic stand designed to provide adequate moisture and allow suitable positioning for the successful fruiting of the grow stick. It can either stand alone on a countertop or fit into our macramé.

A ready-to-fruit mushroom grow stick (sold separately here) rests on the central pillar of the unglazed base so that it doesn't touch the soaked perlite which sits securely in the surrounding moat. The perlite and the absorbent, unglazed ceramic allow for a slower evaporation rate between daily misting. All these factors contribute to maintaining an ideal environment for mushrooms to thrive with minimal care.

The stand is compatible with the macramé hanger. Best suited for mushrooms that fruit easily and need a lot of fresh air exchange, such as oyster mushrooms.

Usage Instructions:

Step 1: Soak the 50g of perlite with 150ml tap water. After about 10 minutes, drain off any excess water.

Step 2: Fill the outer ring of the ceramic base with the soaked perlite. Leave the inner circle empty, as this is where you grow stick will sit.

Step 3: Place in a suitable location, avoiding direct sunlight and strong breezes.

Step 4: Place the grow stick (glow sticks are sold separately) on the ceramic stand as demonstrated in the picture. Remember to position it so that the place where the fruits will come out is closest to the perlite.

Step 5: Before you make slits in the plastic to initiate fruiting, refer to the instructions for how to best fruit your specific variety of mushrooms!
