Diy mushroom incubator hot bombs8/16/2023 The way that most commercial growers do this is usually with expensive and energy intensive insulated + air-regulated grow rooms (or underground tunnels, if they’re lucky)… but we wanted to see if we could make a grow room from junk, and the absolute minimum amount of technology, using the temperate environment that we have.Įnter the offgrid, DIY mushroom fruiting house. So how can you re-create this same climate-controlled environment down the side of your house, without large energy inputs or fandangled gear? Most mushrooms love to fruit in high-humidity conditions – ie think a shady wet forest, at certain times of year, with great airflow and a bit of light. Low tech DIY climate modification, if you will. The alternative, which we use for the mushrooms we cultivate on pasteurised substrate in buckets and jars, is an ‘improved environment’ for our mushrooms to fruit in – helping to create the right conditions that they need to fruit. We grow them in reusable containers – buckets and jars, and also in gardens, on logs and stumps – all with a focus on using waste materials (sawdust, straw, forest thinnings, spent coffee grounds) and avoiding single-use plastic growbags.įor the outdoor cultivated mushrooms that we grow on logs, stumps, and gardens, harvests are more seasonally dependent – we harvest mushrooms when conditions are right, and the mycelium is ready to fruit. You can grow mushrooms in lots of different ways. Here’s how we made a DIY off-grid mushroom fruiting house – for creating a humid forest simulation chamber, to grow LOTS of mushrooms right on our back porch.
