Bucket with lid - 20L

Our top quality 20-liter white bucket with matching lid is a versatile and essential tool for mushroom cultivation enthusiasts. This durable, food-grade container is perfect for mixing and pasteurising mushroom spawn and creating the ideal substrate environment for your growing projects.

High-Quality Specifications

This robust bucket features a 20-litre capacity with a 32cm diameter lid, creating an airtight seal when properly closed. Manufactured from high-grade polypropylene (PP #5), it offers exceptional durability and chemical resistance. The bucket comes complete with a sturdy metal handle for easy transportation, even when filled with substrate.

Perfect for Mushroom Cultivation

Growing mushrooms in buckets has become increasingly popular due to its simplicity and effectiveness. This container is ideal for the “bucket tek” method of mushroom cultivation, where you can:

• Mix and pasteurize substrate materials like straw or hardwood chips
• Create the perfect environment for mushroom spawn colonization
• Establish ideal moisture levels for mycelium development
• Drill holes to allow mushrooms to fruit directly from the bucket sides

When using our bucket for oyster mushroom cultivation, simply drill approximately 15-20 holes (12mm/½ inch) around the sides in a diamond pattern, with holes spaced 10-15cm apart. The airtight lid allows for efficient substrate colonization during the incubation phase.

Exceptional Chemical Resistance

Made from premium polypropylene, this bucket exhibits excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals including acids, bases, alcohols, and non-oxidizing compounds. The chemical stability of PP makes it suitable for various extraction processes and laboratory applications where chemical resistance is crucial.

Multiple Applications

Beyond mushroom cultivation, this versatile bucket is perfect for:

• Fermenting wood chips and straw for substrate preparation
• Long-term soaking of materials thanks to the airtight seal
• Solid substrate fermentation projects
• Food storage applications
• General household and garden use
• Extraction of DMT from Mimosa Jurema due to its resistance to lye
