Our Mushroom boxes are designed to grow soon after arrival.

However some can withstand storage for up to 3 months in a cool, dark environment (fridge/cupboard).

However you will need to keep an eye on them as they may start growing on their own..

• See our detailed grow guide blog for specific instructions

Overall mushroom growing takes the following into account:

• Temperature: Oyster mushrooms grow best in temperatures between 15-26C. If the temperature is too low, the mushrooms will not grow. If the temperature is too high, the mushrooms will not taste as nice.
• Humidity: Oyster mushrooms need a humid environment to grow. The humidity level should be around 60-80%. You can mist the mushroom box regularly or put a humidifier nearby to keep the humidity level high.
• Light: Oyster mushrooms do not need light to grow. However we have observed that they will stretch towards a light source. Light will also strengthen the color of your mushrooms.
• Airflow: Oyster mushrooms need good airflow to grow. If the air is stagnant, the mushrooms will not grow well. You can provide airflow by placing the mushroom box in a well-ventilated area.

Once You get Your Box

Within the next month, you should observe the starting signs of mushroom growth (tiny pins or primordia).

From this point you can spray water directly onto the mushroom throughout the day (try not to wet the box).

In just 1-2 weeks your mushrooms will mature into their full size and flavor, ready for you to harvest and enjoy!

• Immune System Boost: Many mushrooms are packed with antioxidants and other immune-supporting compounds. Think of them as tiny warriors fighting for your health!
• Heart Health : Some studies suggest mushrooms may help lower cholesterol and improve blood pressure, keeping your heart happy.
• Digestive Support: Certain mushrooms are rich in prebiotics, which nourish the good bacteria in your gut, promoting healthy digestion.
• Vitamins and Minerals: Mushrooms are a great source of essential vitamins like B vitamins and vitamin D, as well as minerals like potassium and selenium.

Spotlight:

Now, let's delve into three specific mushrooms with some particularly intriguing potential benefits:

• Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus): This fascinating mushroom, nicknamed for its shaggy mane, has been linked to supporting cognitive function, memory, and focus. Some studies suggest it may even promote nerve growth factor (NGF) production, which is important for brain health.
• Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum): Often referred to as the "mushroom of immortality" in traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi is known for its adaptogenic properties. Adaptogens can help the body adapt to stress and support overall well-being.
• Turkey Tail (Coriolus versicolor): This brightly colored mushroom has been studied for its potential role in supporting the immune system, particularly regarding gut health.

Remember: The specific benefits can vary depending on the type of mushroom. It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating new foods or supplements into your routine.
