You want to use a spawn rate of around 5-10%, which means you'll need about 2.5-5 lbs of grain spawn for each 5 gallon bucket. A 10% spawn rate will colonize the bucket faster, and comes with a higher chance of success- but you can easily get away with less.

How often do I water my mushrooms? Using a spray bottle of clean tap-water, mist the exposed mycelium from your cut twice each day.

Mist the mushrooms with a spray bottle a few times a day to help keep them moist, especially when they're first starting to pin. If you need to increase humidity, you can also drape a plastic bag loosely around the bucket and/or spray near the holes to get them to pin.

We usually load 24-27 tons of cargo into containers, and max payload of the container depends on cargo stowage factor.
