After you have finished watching the Quicktime Video Instructions and reading
the info below you can also visit our live support forum and myco-community
at www.shroomtalk.com you can see the results from others.

There are two kits that can be bought separately with the Mycodome v2.0.
The 6 substrate jars and a mini MYG casing kit. These instructions cover both of the kits procedures. Click the name above to learn more about these upgrade packages.

The Mycodome for Incubation
Incubation is used to maintain your thriving mycelium at optimal environmental conditions for growth and development. The Mycodome achieves this in the first step of the process. You will need both buckets and the white lid for this. Fill your bottom bucket with water before you plug the heater in.

* WARNING
If you let the heater heat up fist and then apply the water, it will shatter the heating element inside and render it useless. And it will void your guarantee.

Fill the water to about where the Velcro begins. Place the top bucket inside so it floats right on the surface of the bottom buckets water level. Now plug in the heater and set the gauge to the appropriate temperature.

When your package arrives you will remove the negative side of the Velcro from the bottom bucket and attach it to your thermometer. Run the sensor through the hole in the top bucket and make sure to set the thermometer to outside setting to read the temperature from the sensor.

Place your inoculated substrate or rye jars inside the incubator and close the lid. If you are unfamiliar with the inoculating process then please refer to the inoculation video.

In a few weeks you should have healthy, white mycelium. We recommend dunking any colonized substrate before fruiting and if you are not familiar with dunking then please refer to the video on this site.

Now that your mycelium has grown throughout the substrate it will begin to deplete its energy source therefore influencing fruiting bodies to drop their spores. Optimal conditions are required for this fruiting process. In this guide we will cover both fruiting cakes and casings.

You will need the perforated drying tray and the leca for this procedure. The leca is light expanded clay aggregate and is used in hydroponics mostly but it provides an ideal substrate for creating humidity for mushrooms.

Remove the sensor from the incubation bucket and place your air pump inside. Wire the plug for the air pump through the hole in the top bucket. Attach the hose with the green valve to the air pump and place the tray on the top bucket.

Add your leca to the fruiting tray and level it out with your hand.

Plug in your air pump and add enough water to where you see tiny bubbles emitting from beneath the surface of the leca.

Add your perforated drying tray. You will notice there are six slots, that’s where all 6 of your substrate jars will sit.

There are tons of different methods for fruiting these types of cakes. You may want to research what the best method for your particular strain would be.

Close the lid let the air pump run continuously. You may want to open up the lid to the dome every few days and allow some fresh air circulate over your cakes. Other than that just sit back and let the magic happen.

Beautiful White Mycelium!

Casings require less humidity than cakes to fruit. You will want to do one of a couple of things when fruiting casings in the Mycodome v2.0.

First when you wet down your leca, its best to then drain off any excess water and then add it to the fruiting tray. That way no standing water will be in the leca to bubble and that will be less humidity. Casings also require more of a regulated air exchange. We suggest either opening up the dome 3-5 times a day to allow fresh air to circulate or to add a timer of some sort to your air pump and have the air exchanges done automatically. For further instructions on preparing this casing from the mini MYG kit, please refer to the site.

Now you have tons of mushrooms that need drying!

For the Mycodome's last feature you will need to remove the fruiting tray and remove the air pump from the bucket. Locate your bag of Quickdry and add it to the bottom of the top bucket. Place your perforated drying tray upside down on top of the quickdry. Place your fresh mushrooms on top of the tray and close the white lid.

Place the air pump on top of the system and run the hose with the green check valve attached to it inside the small hole in the dry chamber and plug it in. The hose with filter is a multi-tasking device that originally was attached to the fruiting tray.

Within a few days you will have perfectly dried mushrooms!
