Mushroom Cultivation
Grow oyster, shiitake, lion's mane and more at home, from spawn to harvest
- What
- Grow oyster, shiitake, lion's mane and more at home, from spawn to harvest
- Cost
- Free
- Needs
- none digital — no account, no API keys. Real-world supplies you'll need yourself: mushroom spawn (grain, sawdust, or plug spawn from a reputable supplier), substrate (straw, hardwood sawdust, or logs), and ideally a pressure cooker or large pot for pasteurization/sterilization.
- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
Curated by Skill Harbor — a hands-on home cultivation guide for edible and medicinal mushrooms: choosing beginner-friendly species (oyster, shiitake, lion's mane, wine cap), preparing substrate (straw pasteurization, sawdust sterilization, cold lime bath), inoculation technique, incubation conditions, fruiting triggers, harvest timing, and managing successive flushes — with contamination troubleshooting at every step. Discovered via skills.sh, listed here with credit to its creator by @pjt222. Honest caveats: a stylized translation of the original agent-almanac skill (translated 2026-04-26, "Got / If fail" format); covers cultivated species only — wild-foraging identification is explicitly out of scope (the companion fungi-identification skill is not included); you'll need real supplies (spawn, substrate, pressure cooker); 2 installs on the catalog, but popularity is not a review. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Not verified.

Install
Prerequisites: none digital — no account, no API keys. Real-world supplies you'll need yourself: mushroom spawn (grain, sawdust, or plug spawn from a reputable supplier), substrate (straw, hardwood sawdust, or logs), and ideally a pressure cooker or large pot for pasteurization/sterilization. Install "Mushroom Cultivation" for me. A step-by-step home mushroom cultivation guide: species selection, substrate preparation, inoculation, incubation, fruiting-chamber management, harvest timing, and successive flushes, with contamination troubleshooting. Repository: https://github.com/pjt222/agent-almanac 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the mushroom-cultivation skill (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "mushroom-cultivation". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. buy spawn and substrate for my chosen species, set up a fruiting area). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
