Day 1Colonize and Shake
Keep the bag at 20 to 25°C in a dark spot. When 50% colonized, shake to break up and redistribute the mycelium for faster, even coverage.
Days 7 to 21Harvest and Enjoy

Days 21 to 35Only what your mushrooms actually need.
Which mushrooms can you grow?
Red Reishi Agar Culture 90mm
A fully colonized 90mm agar plate containing a direct clone of our Ganoderma lucidum mother culture - the same Red Reishi genetics we use in our own mushroom farm production at Freshrooms.
Why Freshrooms Agar Cultures
This is not an isolated wild culture. Every plate is a direct clone of our in-house mother culture, maintained and tested for purity on a continuous basis. What you receive is the exact genetics we rely on to grow mushrooms on our own farm.
About Red Reishi
Red Reishi is one of the most revered functional mushrooms in the world - known for its distinctive glossy red cap and centuries of use in traditional wellness practices. It grows slower than oyster species but rewards patience with striking fruiting bodies.
