FAQ's

How long can i store them?

We recommend storing your boxes in a cool, dark spot for no longer than 3 months before using them. They can withstand storage for up to 6 months in the fridge but fresh is always best.

Do I need any special equipment?
No. Just water in a spray bottle and a spot with indirect light. Optional: our mushroom grow tent speeds up growth.

Why do I need to join the Facebook group?
Growing mushrooms is simple, but small mistakes happen. Our group gives you real-time expert support to ensure success. It's like having a mushroom hotline—and it's required for our guarantee.


Will I definitely get 2-3 harvests per box?
The first flush is guaranteed (with group support). Additional flushes depend on two critical factors: (1) harvesting before spores drop, and (2) maintaining ideal humidity, temperature, and air flow. Many growers get 2-3 flushes, but we only guarantee the first.


How do I know when to harvest to get more flushes?
Harvest when caps flatten but BEFORE the edges curl up and release spores. Post a photo in the group—we'll tell you exactly when!


How long do fresh mushrooms last?
5-7 days in the fridge in a breathable container (paper bag). We recommend cooking within 2-3 days for peak flavour.


Can kids do this?
Absolutely! It's a popular school science project. Adult supervision recommended for the cutting step.


What do I do with the substrate after?
Add it to your garden—it's excellent compost! Wild mushrooms may even grow in your yard later.
