At Home Dung Lover's Grow Kit

Explore Mushroom Cultivation at Home with the Armadillo Myco Grow Kit

Uncover the world of mushroom cultivation from the comfort of your own home with the Armadillo Myco Grow Kit. Thoughtfully designed for beginners and hobbyists alike, this kit offers an immersive, hands-on experience that teaches you the fundamentals of growing mushrooms—no need for costly, large-scale equipment or specialized setups. Unlike many grow kits that come pre-colonized and ready to fruit, the Armadillo Myco Grow Kit empowers you to start from scratch, giving you a true appreciation for the mushroom cultivation journey.

Each kit includes a carefully curated set of tools and substrates to help you get started:

• 2.5 lb Bag of Millet: Millet is the ideal foundation for supporting robust mycelium growth, offering a high-quality nutritional base to kickstart your cultivation.
• 2.5 lb Bag of Our Special CVG Mix (Coco Coir, Vermiculite, and Gypsum): Formulated by our team, this substrate blend supports healthy, sustainable mushroom development and is easy to handle, making it an excellent choice for home growers.
• Latex Gloves and Alcohol Wipe: Maintaining a clean and contamination-free environment is key to successful mushroom growing. We include these tools so you can focus on the learning process with confidence.
• Liquid Culture Syringe from True Blue Genetics: Each Armadillo Myco Grow Kit comes with a liquid culture syringe provided by our trusted partner, True Blue Genetics. With every kit purchase, you can choose any syringe from their wide selection—a $20 value included at no extra cost! By shipping directly from their lab, we ensure that every culture is fresh, viable, and ready to go, allowing you to get started as soon as you receive your kit.

Our kit is designed to be flexible and accessible. Because different mushroom species thrive on different substrates, we encourage our customers to research the specific needs of their chosen species to determine if our CVG mix is the right choice. As we continue to innovate, we’re actively developing a manure-based substrate option to support a wider range of species and broaden your cultivation possibilities.

Price: $39.99 (includes your choice of a $20 gourmet mushroom liquid culture from True Blue Genetics!)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of mushrooms can I grow with the Armadillo Myco Grow Kit?
A: The Armadillo Myco Grow Kit is best suited for cultivating certain dung-loving mushrooms that thrive on a CVG (coco coir, vermiculite, and gypsum) mix with millet. We encourage you to research which mushroom species are compatible with our substrate mix to ensure optimal growth.

Q: Is this grow kit beginner-friendly?
A: Absolutely! The Armadillo Myco Grow Kit is designed with beginners in mind, providing all the essentials for a successful start. Our kit includes detailed instructions, and we’re available to answer any questions along the way.

Q: What’s the difference between this kit and pre-colonized grow kits?
A: Unlike pre-colonized kits that arrive with mycelium already growing, our kit lets you experience the entire mushroom cultivation process from the start. This approach allows for a more hands-on learning experience, giving you insight into each stage of mushroom growth.

Q: Do I need any additional equipment to use this kit?
A: No additional equipment is required. The kit includes everything you need to start growing, including sterile tools and a fresh liquid culture syringe. However, we do recommend maintaining a clean workspace to minimize contamination.

Q: How should I store my kit if I’m not ready to use it right away?
A: To keep all components fresh, store the millet and CVG bags in a cool, dry place. The liquid culture syringe should be refrigerated to maintain its viability until you’re ready to begin your grow.

Q: Can I use this kit to grow gourmet mushrooms?
A: Most gourmet mushrooms, like Lion’s Mane and Blue Oyster, require hardwood-based substrates to thrive. Our kit is designed specifically for mushrooms compatible with CVG, but we are working on a hardwood substrate kit for gourmet mushroom cultivation in the future!

Q: How fresh is the liquid culture in this kit?
A: To ensure maximum freshness and viability, our liquid culture syringes are shipped directly from our partner, True Blue Genetics. Each culture is prepared upon order, guaranteeing you receive a viable, fresh product ready to start growing.

Q: Why do I need to do research on substrate compatibility?
A: Different mushrooms have specific substrate needs for optimal growth. Our CVG mix is suitable for a range of species but may not support all varieties. Researching your chosen mushroom species will help you understand if this kit’s substrate is right for you.

Q: Are you planning to offer other substrate options?
A: Yes! We’re actively developing a manure-based substrate that will support a broader range of mushroom species. Stay tuned as we expand our offerings to accommodate various cultivation needs.

Q: Why doesn’t Armadillo Myco Supply offer an all-in-one grow bag?
A: At Armadillo Myco Supply, we’ve tested all-in-one grow bags extensively, and while they can work, we weren’t fully satisfied with the overall results. We’ve found that this hands-on grow kit yields better quality mushrooms and provides a more rewarding experience. By using separate components, you’ll gain more control over each stage of cultivation, making it an engaging, educational journey. This kit isn’t just about growing mushrooms—it’s about learning the process, experimenting, and truly enjoying each step along the way.
