Why build an incubator?
Here I will show you how to make a cheap incubator. The reason to make your own is because its cheap, easy, and reliable. A small incubator that can hold 5-10 jars cost $100-$500. The Incubator in this lens only cost $46.97 and can hold 20 or more jars! so you decide do you want your mushrooms to grow slow at room temperature? Buy a small expensive incubator? OR build a nice one!!!
These are the supplies you will need to build a cheap incubator

Visi-therm Deluxe Heater - 50W - 7 12 in. - 10 to 20 gallon
This will be used to regulate your temperature!

Once you have the heater positioned pour in enough 80 degree water to completely submerge the heater. Set the heater to go off at 80 degrees. Then put in 4 equal sized supports to support the second container. Then rest your second container on the supports. Now have to add water in the first container till it half full and "TA-DA!" you got yourself a incubator! Your incubator should look like this:
Now the only thing to do is put your jars in and cover it with a blanket. If you notice your jars aren't colonizing on the bottom but are at the top just turn them upside down for a few days. This should get rid of some CO2 in the bottom.

Well i have not heard of that method yet. I would probably try to make a liquid culture by using fresh mushroom flesh. I will be making a new page about that sometime soon though. This is for people who grow mushrooms or go mushroom hunting! Posted March 16, 2008 |
