NORTH SPORE Boomr Bag Monotub
Mushroom Grow Kit
Start growing your own dung-loving mushrooms indoors!
Our beginner-friendly Boomr Bag Monotub Mushroom Grow Kit makes mushroom growing easy. Created by mycologists, this starter kit is equipped with everything you need to grow dung-loving species at home. (All that's required is a spore syringe or liquid culture!)
The monotub is designed with airflow and humidity controls and requires no high-tech additions. And the manure-based sterile substrates, injection port bag, and coco coir provide mediums for colonization, incubation, and growth.
We've also included self-adhesive filters and black micropore tape that fit over holes on the monotub lid and base. These are designed to keep out foreign spores and other contaminants while maintaining proper humidity, airflow, and gas exchange.
Spawn to bulk ratio:
We recommended 1 lb of colonized grain spawn for every 5 lbs of Boomr Bag sterile substrate. (Higher inoculation rates may improve your success.)
Each kit includes:
- (1) Max Yield Bins monotub
- (3) Boomr Bag Sterile Manure-Based Substrate (5 lbs each)
- (1) Organic Sterilized Grain Bag with Injection Port (3 lbs)
- (2) sheets of 2” self-adhesive filters (12 pack)
- (1) roll of 1/2" black micropore tape (10 yards)
- (1) Coco Coir (5 lbs)
IMPORTANT: Coco coir casing layer should only be added to your monotub once it's fully colonized and pinning.
Monotub:
Designed by Max Yield Bins to make indoor mushroom growing easy, this monotub is equipped to control airflow circulation and humidity retention. Durable, with tight-fitting latches to keep the lid sealed to the base, it's fit with a custom light-blocking base to prevent mushrooms from growing on the sides or bottom of your bin.
Dimensions: 22.5”(L) x 15.5”(W) x 12”(H)
Boomr Bag sterile substrate:
Our best-selling Boomr Bag is a sterile bulk mushroom substrate formulated by mycologists to maximize your mushroom yield. It features a proprietary blend of composted horse manure, coco coir, and several quality substrate supplements (although we keep the exact blend a secret!) Over several years, it has been perfected for dung-loving mushroom species and is widely-trusted by mushroom growers. Each bag weighs 5 pounds. (Note: Bags are hydrated to field capacity.)
Use Boomr Bag in monotubs, filter bags, and outdoor beds. Or, grow mushrooms from the bag or tray in a humidity-controlled grow room or Martha set up.
Spawn to bulk ratio:
We recommended 1 lb of colonized grain spawn for every 5 lbs of Boomr Bag sterile substrate. (Higher inoculation rates may improve your success.)
Sterilized grain bag:
Our sterile grain bag with injection port was formulated by mycologists to maximize the speed and size of your mushroom grow. Each spawn bag contains 3 lbs of our proprietary blend featuring hydrated, nutrient-rich organic millet and wheat berries. Bags also include a self-healing injection port for use with a spore or culture syringe plus a 0.2 micron filter patch to block airborne contaminants while providing even gas exchange. Bag weighs 3 pounds. (Note: Bags are hydrated to field capacity.)
Coco coir casing layer:
Coco coir provides many benefits to the mushroom cultivation process. In addition to moisture retention, the porous structure of coir material enables good exchange of air and water and is highly resistant to contaminants making it ideal for mushroom growing. It is often used as casing, added to substrates, and is even used in garden beds as an alternative to peat moss. (Bag weighs 5 lbs.)
Self-adhesive filters:
These self-adhesive filters are made from 100% recycled filter material and sized to fit over 2" holes on monotubs. Use these in place of polyfill to keep out foreign spores and other contaminants while maintaining humidity and air exchange. Each sheet contains 6 filters. (Use on 2" holes found on the lid of the monotub.)
Black micropore tape:
This latex-free, hypoallergenic paper micropore tape adheres well and leaves minimal adhesive residue upon removal. It's designed to keep humidity in and allow for proper air exchange, and its black color will make it nearly invisible to the eye one applied. Each roll measures 10 yards. (Use on small holes around the base of the monotub.)
