Grow Kit Directions
Follow these easy, set and grow directions
Setting up
1- Find a location that will stay between 55F-75F, like a kitchen counter-top, somewhere out of direct sunlight, but somewhere that has some light. The lights in the ceiling are plenty of light for them
2- Next, fill a cake pan or shallow tray with tap water. Place an empty, upside-down bowl in the water, creating an island of sorts. Place the grow kit on the island. The goal is to have the evaporation around the kit to keep the humidity up, be sure to top the water off as needed.
Fruiting the Block
3- Cut 2 small X's, on the side without the sticker, towards the upper side of the block.
4- Now sit back and watch them grow! It can take around 1 week to see any activity, but once you see them forming, they should be ready to harvest in 12-14 days. There is no exact time to harvest, but ideally you pick just before the spores dump. With oysters its when the cap starts to flatten out, and with lion's mane, it's when the teeth start getting about 1/4 in long.
Harvest time
5- Twist and pull the fruits and clean the substrate off using scissors.
6- After the mushrooms have been harvested, you can fold the plastic over to cover the 1st X's and cut 2 more X's on the other side of the kit for a 2nd flush. Or you can use packaging tape to cover them as well, and make new X's beside the 1st ones.
7- ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR!
