What's Included:
Substrate:A 10 lb specially prepared growing medium inoculated with mycelium (the root-like network of a fungus), ready to produce a bountiful harvest of mushrooms.
Getting Started:
Find a Suitable Location:Choose a humid place without direct sunlight and a temperature between 70-80°F (21-27°C) (Depending on the species). A small closet or unused area of your living space works well.
Cutting the Block:Depending on the type of mycelium you ordered, the bag may require a specific type of cut. A simple Google or YouTube search will help you identify how to cut the block for optimal growth.
Misting:Mist the substrate 2-3 times daily with clean water to maintain humidity. Avoid over watering, as this can lead to mold.
Patience:Allow the mycelium to colonize the substrate. This process can take a few days to several weeks, depending on the species.
Harvest:Once mushrooms are mature, harvest them gently by twisting them at the base.
Care Tips:
Humidity:Maintain high humidity levels, ideally between 80-95%. You can use a humidifier, place a plastic bag over the block, or add the block to a fruiting chamber, tent, or garden bed, depending on the species and environment.
Ventilation:Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold and mildew.
Temperature:Keep the temperature within the recommended range of 70-80°F (21-27°C).
Important Note: We suggest that you DO NOT keep your kit in your bedroom. Mushrooms produce spores that can agitate your lungs. Please harvest your mushrooms before they completely open to minimize spore release.
