In 3 Steps to Your Organic Oyster Mushrooms!

 

1. Open:

Remove the perforated window on the front side. The substrate bag remains inside the box. Cut a large “X” into the substrate bag directly where the window is.
Do not cut off the plastic flaps. Gently scratch the mushroom mycelium with a fork.

2. Spray:

Place the box in a bright spot at room temperature, away from direct sunlight—ideally in the most humid room in your home. Spray some water twice daily behind the flaps of the “X” and later onto the growing mushrooms.
After approximately two weeks, the first baby mushrooms should appear.

3. Harvest:

4–5 days later, before the mushroom caps curve upwards, they are ready to harvest.
To encourage another harvest, repeat steps 2 & 3.

 

Additional Tips:

If the substrate feels dry after the first harvest or if the second flush takes longer, remove the bag from the box and place it with the “X” facing down in a shallow dish of water for 2–3 hours.

If the environment is too dry, more than two sprays per day may be necessary.
