    Filter: High efficiency .2 micron

    Sterilization method: Commercial-grade autoclave sterilized

  • Temperature: 55-75°F | 13-24°C

    Humidity: Phase 1: Primordia (95-100%), Phase 2: Fruitbody (85-95%)

    CO2: Phase 1: Primordia (<1,000 ppm), Phase 2: Fruitbody (<1,000 ppm)

    Primordia - The earliest recognizable stage of fruitbody development. Also known as “baby mushrooms” or “mushroom pins.”

    Fruitbody - A fully grown mushroom, the reproductive structure of the organism in which the spores are produced.

    CO2 sensitivity - When CO2 levels are too high, yields will decrease, stems will become long and stringy, caps will be small, and/or growth will halt.
