To start well, clean the grow kit. You do that with water that is hotter than 70 degrees. It can also be boiling. This ensures that all any wrong fungi disappear.   You can also clean the container in which you collect coffee grounds. In a dirty collection tray, wrong fungi can gather, and you don't want that! Breeding now you fill the grow kit with a layer of coffee grounds. So much that the bottom is covered. Mix this with the brood. Make sure that the coffee grounds are damp enough. It must have the color of pure chocolate. You can add some water if it is too dry. Then you put the lid on the grow kit and it is waiting!   After about 5 days you will see that all the coffee grounds on the bottom have turned white. That is the time to add more coffee. Every time your coffee grounds turn out, you can supplement it with coffee grounds, you will see that it is going faster and faster. Kwektip 2 - Your first layer of coffee grounds has turned completely white to handle your coffee grounds do not save your coffee grounds for too long. You want to use it as fresh as possible because then no wrong fungi can grow on it. Day verses is the best. If you still want to keep your coffee grounds before you do it in the grow kit, you can store it in the fridge in a closed container. Of course, make sure that the container is clean, and keep it no more than three days.   Keep your coffee grounds no more than three days. And if you keep it, put it in a clean, sealed container in the fridge. Net-Koffiedik-add-JPG The fungus slowly spreads through your coffee grounds. Because your fungus needs air to breathe, you cannot add too much coffee grounds at the same time, but each time a layer of approximately one centimeter. The fungus spreads through the new layer of coffee grounds. When that is white, add a new layer again. This way you continue until the grow kit is completely full.   Do you have to go on vacation? Then for that one time you can add a layer of three centimeters and put the grow kit in the fridge. During your vacation the oyster mushroom fungus will grow quietly and when you get home you will remove it from the fridge again.   Kwektip 3 - Problems, what now? Yes you are doing well!

You can continue like this until your grow kit is full.   Net-Koffiedik-add-JPG Filter coffee, Espresso or Senseo? Did you know that you can also add coffee filters? Because boiling water has gone through and it is made of wood fiber (paper), the oyster mushroom fungus can grow well. You can cut or tear the filter before it starts in the grow kit (with clean scissors / fingers) so that the fungus can spread more easily. The same applies to Senseo Pads, just tear and then there.   Too little coffee? Take coffee grounds from your work or ask friends. They are probably happy to get rid of it and your oyster mushroom fungus will be nice and big. Of course use a clean container to take it with you.   Growkit-with trichoderma green fungus, what now?! If you are unlucky you suddenly see a few green dots between your beautiful white oyster mushroom fungus. This may be because you do not work so hygienically, your coffee grounds are too old or your coffee grounds are not moist enough. The fungus you see is called Trichoderma.   If you see green dots, scoop it carefully with a spoon that you first baptized in boiling water. That way you know for sure that you do not add new dirt to your coffee grounds. Is your coffee grounds not the color of pure chocolate? That could be the cause of your green fungus and you can make the coffee grounds that you add afterwards with a plant sprayer.   Does your bucket turn completely green? Then unfortunately you are out of luck and you have to start again. We also throw away a bag of substrate more often than we like that becomes completely green.   Kwektip 4 - Continue to continue everything goes well you add coffee grounds every few days and see that turning white. You immediately put the lid on the grow kit and you occasionally see if everything is still going well. If all goes well, your grow kit is now completely full until the lid. From that moment you no longer have to open your grow kit. It can take a considerable time until your grow kit will give fungi. Make sure that your grow kit is not too hot, then the oyster mushroom thinks it is still summer. A cool, light place is the most pleasant for your oyster mushroom.   But then that tape? The oyster mushroom makes fungi where it is light. With the grow kit that is in the places of the holes. The tape that is on it is air permeable and does not stick very much. The oyster mushroom can therefore push it aside. On the left you see mini mockets behind the tape. A few days later the tape was pushed off and the fungi along it. Once they are past you can carefully pull the tape aside, but it is not necessary.   Almost ready to harvest!  Your fungi will grow into full -fledged mushrooms within a week.    Wektip 5 - Harvesting finally, you can harvest your oyster mushrooms! Growkit four-side WhatsApp-Image-2020-02-02-AT-13.07.45 Your oyster mushrooms are ready to harvest when the hat is flat. On the photo on the left, the hats of the oyster mushrooms are still nicely crooked. Then you can leave them for another night. In the bottom photo the hats are just not completely flat and then it is perfect moment to harvest.   How do you harvest? You Oyster mushrooms harvest you by grabbing them close to the bucket and turning them. Then you turn them with the foot of the substrate. There is usually a very small bit of substrate on the foot, so you then cut it off with a sharp knife. And then your fungi are harvested and ready for the pan. Stick the holes with new tape or with the original tape of the holes.   Dried out fungi?  Dried out fungi happens regularly, especially because they are quite dry in our houses in the winter. The good thing is that you can still use it well. Let it be in water and then baking, or because of the risotto they are delicious. Dried oyster mushrooms are even a delicacy available in most supermarkets. And now you just grown it yourself! Environmental information about oyster mushrooms on Koffiedik has a label of unsorted old paper has been put together by BlueCity Rotterdam is a very fun and sustainable gift in 2030 more than 8 billion people live on our earth. More than 65% of these live in cities on less than 3% of the surface of the whole world. But these cities produce 50% of the waste and provide 80% of the emissions of toxic substances. In the meantime, we continue to get food from all over the world and burn the often very valuable residual flows as waste. As a result, we produce even more waste and we expand even more toxic substances.   How is it possible? Better and smarter. Among other things by using a locally very exuberantly available raw material: coffee grounds. After oil, coffee is the most traded raw material in the world. Almost 10 billion kilos of coffee beans are produced per year. The Netherlands imports 150 million kilos of coffee beans for its own use annually. An amazingly small percentage in your cup of coffee ends: less than 1%. Of the rest, we throw more than 120 million kilos of coffee grounds away and almost all ends up in the incinerator. While we can also convert it into food. Sustainably produced oyster mushrooms for example!   What does that deliver? Producing and consuming oyster mushrooms that are grown on locally available coffee grounds yields a lot, namely: reducing the amount of waste that goes into the incinerator and thus the reduction of CO2 emissions. Reducing the transport kilometers by producing local food. All raw materials of this kit are available locally and are only supplied to local parties. Increase the range of vegetable foods. Oyster mushrooms are an excellent meat substitute and also much more effective to the use of water than meat. 15,000 liters of water are needed for 1 kilo of beef. For 1 kilo of oyster mushrooms less than 5 liters.
