1 CLEAN AND STERILIZE YOUR SURROUNDINGS Wash and sterilize your hands before working with the MushPonic components. If any part of the MushPonic kit comes in contact with unwanted bacteria, your mushroom ecosystem may become contaminated. Our MushPonic system comes with gloves that should be worn at all times while handling the jars or system to avoid contamination.

2 PREPARING YOUR MUSHROOM SUBSTRATE CAKES Your MushPonic grow chamber can be used as a jar colonization incubator.

Fill the grow chamber with the hydroton and enough clean water to fully submerge the electric heater (see Step 6). Set the heater to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (see Step 6 for an example on how to set the heater). Inject 1.5mL- 2.0mL of spore solution into each jar through the micropore tape. You can put more than the 6 jars that were included with the kit into your MushPonic. The substrate jars come PRE-STERILIZED.

*** NOTE We do not provide Spores with any Kit. We recommend an edible mushroom spore from BestSpores.com

After you inject edible mushroom spores into your jars, place the jars into the grow chamber on top of the hydroton. Place the grow chamber and jars in a DARK PLACE for the duration of the colonization process (10-20 days). You may place the chamber in a garbage bag to simulate darkness.

After approximately 2 weeks, the specialized substrate inside the jars will transform into a milky white substance. The white cotton-like substance is called mycelium. When all of the substrate has become overrun with white mycelium, your cakes are ready to be placed inside the MushPonic!

GROWING YOUR MUSHROOMS

You will need

Clean Water, Plastic Wrap, Colonized Mycelium Cakes

You can use as many cakes as you want without

crowding the grow Chamber.

3 SETTING UP THE MUSHPONIC ECOSYSTEMPlace the empty MushPonic grow chamber on a table or surface in a clean area.

DO NOT plug in the heater until youve completed Step 5! The heater will burn out if its not fully submerged in water.

4 INSTALLING THE AIR FLOW PUMPRemove the MushPonics lid. At the top left side of the lid, there will be a small circular opening for the clear tubing to pass through.

Once the tubing is through the lids hole, attach the air stone by inserting it into the clear tubing.

Push the air stone down inside far enough to touch the base of

the grow chamber (it will be submerged in the water and hydroton).

Insert the other end of the clear tubing inside the air pump that sits outside of the grow chamber.

Do not turn on the pump until youve completed Step 5. Once turned on you should be able to see air bubbles coming up from the hydroton rocks

5 HUMIDIFICATION MEDIUMAdd the hydroton rocks to the MushPonics grow chamber. The electric heater and air stone should be submerged in the hydroton.

Fill the grow chamber with water right up to the top of the hydroton. The water should sit just below the top layer of the hydroton.

46 SETTING THE TEMPERATURE Set the temperature on the electric heater on low heat. Your goal range should be between to 70-75 degrees Farenheit. Double check after a few hours that the temperature remains constant.

Attach the digital thermometer to the MushPonic where you can see it clearly. The thermometer will allow you to carefully monitor any, temperature jumps so you can adjust the heater accordingly.

7 PLACING THE CAKES AND FRUITING YOUR MUSHROOMSWhen your substrate cakes are fully colonized with mycelium, its time to remove them from the jars and place them inside the MushPonic. Place the colonized mycelium substrate cakes directly onto the top layer of hydroton. Its okay if water touches the base of the cake.

***OPTIONAL - To help trap humidity inside the MushPonic place plastic wrap over the grow chambers vents. The seal around the vents does not have to be tight, the idea is to simply block moisture from escaping through the top vents.

Over the following weeks, the water level will decrease due to evaporation. Whenever you notice the water level declining, simply add water to restore the level back to where it was just beneath the top layer of hydroton.

During this fruiting stage, the cakes/mushrooms need regular cycles of light. TURN ON the mushroom light for about SIX HOURS per day at regular intervals.

You will need to do this for as long as your cakes are fruiting.

In 1 - 2 weeks you will notice your colonized substrate cakes will enter the PINNING stage (small mushroom heads will start to form in random groupings). Your mushroom pins could mature and start to fruit in just a few days! Pick the mushrooms when the veils start to break. Congrats on your new mushrooms!

Due to the freshness of the jars, the same jars may be re-injected and reused up to 4 times! * Just make sure there is no mold or contamination growth.
