This premium polypropylene grow bag is specifically designed for serious mycologists who demand reliability, sterility, and excellent performance during the fruiting stage. With its generous size and strategically positioned horizontal filters, this bag provides the ideal environment for growing large-scale mushroom projects.
Key Features:
- Extra-Large Capacity: Dimensions of 40 cm wide × 51 cm high make this bag perfectly suited for XL grow boxes and containers up to 2100cc (2.1 liters). Ideal for growers working with larger substrate volumes who need room for substantial mushroom flushes.
- Horizontal Filter Design for Enhanced Fruiting: Unlike standard grow bags with small filter patches, this bag features 4 horizontal filters (2 on the front, 2 on the back) that span a significant portion of the bag’s surface. This design provides superior gas exchange, which is essential during the fruiting phase when mushrooms require increased fresh air exchange (FAE) and oxygen to develop properly.
- Autoclavable and Sterile-Ready: Made from durable 60-micron polypropylene film that withstands sterilization temperatures up to 123°C (253°F) in an autoclave or pressure cooker. Simply sterilize the bag before use, add your colonized substrate, and seal with paperclips, scotch tape, or clothespins to maintain a contamination-free environment.
- Optimal Gas Exchange Technology: The micron filters allow continuous air circulation while blocking microorganisms from entering the bag. This breathable barrier ensures your mycelium receives adequate oxygen during colonization and provides the enhanced FAE necessary for healthy mushroom formation during fruiting.
- Professional-Grade Material: Constructed from high-quality polypropylene with proven durability after repeated sterilization and intensive handling. These bags are trusted by both hobbyist cultivators and commercial mushroom operations.
Why Horizontal Filters Matter for Fruiting:
During the fruiting stage, mushrooms require significantly more fresh air exchange than during colonization. The horizontal filter placement on this bag allows mushrooms to stretch toward the oxygen source, promoting healthy fruiting body development. The increased filter surface area facilitates better CO₂ evacuation and O₂ replenishment—critical factors for maximizing yields and producing high-quality mushrooms.
Usage Instructions:
- Sterilize the empty bag in an autoclave or pressure cooker at 121-123°C
- Once cooled, transfer your fully colonized mushroom substrate or cake into the bag
- Seal the bag opening with clips, tape, or clothespins
- The filters will automatically regulate gas exchange throughout the growing process
