To start the cultivation process, first you have to order a Shrooly and an AnyMush Pod from our website. We only ship accessories to the Shrooly itself, but the tools needed for a successful cultivation are easily available in most local stores.

After you got your Shrooly and AnyMush Pod, you’d have to order the liquid culture of your choice. You can find online retailers through a quick Google search, or even find local ones if you live in a bigger city. You will get the culture in a syringe.

Now the tools you need for the cultivation: some surface disinfectant (eg.: isopropyl alcohol or similar) and some gloves. The first step is to sterilize the Pod, especially the injection port (which is found at the bottom) thoroughly. This step prevents that no mold can develop on the substrate.

Open the alcoholic wipe sent along with your AnyMush Pod and disinfect the injection port on the Pod. Now pull the cover from the syringe, disinfect it with a lighter and insert it into the injection port. Press the liquid into the Pod, you’ll need ca 25-30ml of liquid culture.

Congrats, the hard part is behind you. Now, if you examine the AnyMush Pod, you can see that it consists of 2 different parts. This bottom part is made out of wheat grain, the mushroom mycelium will start to spread here at first. With this revolutionary mechanic you don’t have to wait months to have a successful harvest.

After inoculation, place the Pod back into the Sleeve, and bring into a dark place around room temperature and wait 5-10 days. When the bottom part of the grain spawn is entirely whitish, you can proceed to the next step.

Now break up the grain layer where they mycelium started to grow and shake the bag well. Try to mix as many grains into the coconut fiber as possible. This will tremendously speed up the process, as the mycelium can now colonize the substrate from many points.

Place back the Pod once again into the sleeve. Here come another 7-14 days of waiting, until from these points the mycelium spreads to the whole substrate.

First you need to set up your Shrooly, our application makes this process a breeze. Through the app you can start a manual cultivation process, where you can set your own desired parameters tailored to your own mushroom culture’s needs.

Cut the Pod at the top and put it in your Shrooly. With our app you can select your custom growing conditions, such as humidity and lighting cycle.

Just lay back and wait for the mushrooms to grow! Harvest should be around the corner in just 7-14 days.
