The aim is to create an ideal microclimate for mushroom growth.

Daily care is simple:

• Lightly mist around the vessel twice daily

Mushrooms typically begin pinning within 5–7 days, and fruiting within 2 weeks - depending on conditions.

Use with Mycelia House vs as a grow kit

If using as the kit on its own: go here

Creating the optimal conditions involves creating the season of autumn:

• Natural to low light

• Fresh air exchange

• Consistent humidity

• Daily water application

Best placed indoors in lived-in spaces such as the kitchen, dining, or lounge room. Choose a spot with natural light but no direct sunlight, and where there’s occasional airflow - for example, near a window or door that’s opened throughout the day.

Position it somewhere visible, so it becomes part of your daily rhythm and easy to remember to mist around the vessel with water each day. Keep away from air conditioning or heating sources.

Meet your growers - Ruffle Farm

“This is us: Jess & Joel at Ruffle Farm, our gourmet mushroom growing biz born from a desire to pursue farming (somehow) in our beloved Inner West.

With a history of hobby-cultivation, and inspired by a stint working on organic farms across Europe, we created Ruffle Farm to share those gorgeous mushroom varieties you don’t see too much in our community.

Since we grow local, it’s our goal to get our shroomies to you asap. We don’t want none of that slimy plastic-wrapped funk invading our stores no more!”

As a small business and collaboration with Ruffle Farm, all orders will be fulfilled every Monday and you will receive this within 2-3 days.

A flat rate of $10 for each substrate purchase. Tracking details will be provided once your parcel has been sent. 

Made in small batches in Sydney, Australia.

Used mushroom substrate can be returned to the earth to enrich soil. Plastic grow bags should be disposed of in the bin - while bio-plastic alternatives are actively being explored and will be adopted when viable.
