Unsere USDA-zertifizierte Bio-Kastanien-Brut (Pholiota adiposa) ist eine beliebte Sorte, die in Japan weit verbreitet ist. Die Pilze sind samtig mit kleinen bis mittelgroßen, herrlich gesprenkelten Kappen, die der Farbe ihrer namensgebenden Nuss ähneln. Beim Kochen verströmen sie ein waldiges Aroma, haben eine knackige Textur und einen reichen, nussigen, leicht süßen Geschmack.

Kastanien können etwas wählerisch sein, wachsen aber im Allgemeinen gut in Innenräumen. Sie bevorzugen kühlere Temperaturen und neigen dazu, auszutrocknen oder ihr Wachstum einzustellen, wenn die Luftfeuchtigkeit nicht aufrechterhalten wird, während sich die Pilze noch in einem frühen Stadium befinden. Wenn sie jedoch erfolgreich wachsen, können Sie erhebliche und kommerziell verwertbare Ernten erwarten. Beachten Sie, dass Kastanien nicht zuverlässig aufeinanderfolgende Erntewellen produzieren.


Empfohlene Verwendung:

  • Kastanien-Pilzbrut kann für die Indoor-Produktion mit sägemehlbasiertem sterilem Substrat verwendet werden.
  • Verwenden Sie keine Pilzbrut für die Stammbeimpfung.
  • Dies ist kein Pilzzucht-Set. Kastanien-Pilzbrut muss mit einem Substrat kombiniert werden, um Fruchtkörper zu bilden.

Nach Erhalt Ihrer Pilzbrut:

Nehmen Sie sie so schnell wie möglich aus dem Versandkarton. Klappen Sie dann den oberen Teil des Beutels auf, um Platz für Luft zu schaffen. Es ist auch wichtig zu überprüfen und zu bestätigen, dass der Filterpatch nicht blockiert ist. Dies hilft dem Organismus zu atmen und weiterhin zu gedeihen!

Indoor cultivation

Chestnut mushroom grain spawn can be mixed into sterilized hardwood sawdust to create chestnut substrate blocks.

Note: Grain spawn must be mixed with bulk substrate before you can fruit it. If you are new to growing mushrooms, we recommend purchasing a book on mushroom cultivation.

Storing

If you don't plan to use immediately, you can refrigerate your spawn for up to 4 months.

Cooking

"5 of the Best Chestnut Mushroom Recipes"

For those who enjoy the distinct nutty flavor of chestnut mushrooms, we recommend frying them up with butter and garlic or adding them to your favorite creamy soup or pasta dish. As with other mushrooms, chestnut mushrooms require thorough cooking. However, given their lower moisture content, they do not require “sweating” in the pan.

Ingredients

Our grain spawn is USDA certified organic and made using organic cultures from our own culture bank. It contains a blend of locally sourced, organic, and non-GMO ingredients from farms in New England and North America.

Cautions & considerations

If you’re going to consume home-grown mushrooms, make sure to cook your fresh mushrooms thoroughly with heat. If it is your first time eating this species, it is best to start with a small amount to check for allergies, even if cooked.

Would deffinately purchase

I am a beginner and this was my first experience growing Chesnuts in the Boomer Bin. I followed the instructions and 3 weeks later I have a beautiful layer of mycelium. So exciting to peek into the bin every day and see the changes. Its hard not to take the top off the bin. Patience......

Thanks so much for sharing! If you need help with anything, please reach out.

Beautiful Chestnuts

Chestnuts take a little longer to fruit, especially compared to oysters, but they are always well worth the wait. Very popular at the farmer's market.
