Description
The Ultimate Mushroom Growing & Incubator Kit is a compact, all-in-one jar system that works as both incubator and fruiting chamber. It comes with 12 sterilized ½ pint BRF jars, a 30-quart latching chamber, a thermostat-controlled heater, a timed HEPA-filtered air pump and a 900-lumen LED — just add a spore syringe or liquid culture.
The heater holds steady warmth, the air pump pushes HEPA-filtered fresh air into the chamber on a timer, and the LED supplies fruiting light, so conditions stay consistent with very little day-to-day attention. It fits on a shelf or in a closet, and the chamber holds up to 18 jars.

How it works
- Store the jars. Keep jars in the fridge until you’re ready — up to 3 months. Let them come to room temperature before inoculating.
- Inoculate. Wipe down your workspace, then inject 1–1.5cc of spore solution or 2cc of liquid culture per jar, split across the four pre-drilled holes. Not sure how many syringes to buy? Use our syringe calculator.
- Set up the chamber. Assemble the chamber, heater, air pump, timer and light following the printed setup guide.
- Colonize. Keep the jars in the chamber, warm and undisturbed, until they’re fully white.
- Birth and fruit. Birth the colonized cakes into the chamber, let the timed fresh air and LED do their work, and harvest.

FAQ
Is it really automated?
The heater holds temperature on its thermostat, and the air pump runs on the included 24-hour timer to push HEPA-filtered fresh air into the chamber. You still inoculate the jars, birth the cakes and harvest.
Can I use it as an incubator only?
Yes. It works as an incubator for colonizing jars and as a fruiting chamber, in the same unit.
How many jars does it hold?
The kit includes 12 jars, and the chamber holds up to 18.
What do I need to add?
A spore syringe or liquid culture. Everything else is in the box, and shipping is free.
How much do I inject into each jar?
Use 1–1.5cc of spore solution or 2cc of liquid culture per jar, split across the four pre-drilled holes.
Do I need to drill or modify anything?
No. The air hose, filter and fittings are ready to use — no drilling, tools or modifications.
