Before getting started, it's helpful to know:
How Mushrooms Grow in Nature:
🍄 Forest floors are their happy place: They flourish in cool, damp, shaded areas—especially after rain or cloudy weather.
đź’§ Moisture is life: Mushrooms are 90% water, so they need consistent humidity to avoid drying out.
How to Mimic Nature’s Magic:
✅ Keep it indoors: Avoid direct sunlight and wind (think “forest floor vibes”).
✅ Mist like morning dew: Spray water daily to maintain moisture (we’ll send reminders!). Or dunk the mushroom in a bowl of water when dry.
✅ Patience is key: Mushrooms grow on nature’s schedule, not ours—trust the process!

Pro Tip:
Place your kit in a bathroom or kitchen (naturally humid spots!) for best results.

- Pick your mushrooms when they're about as wide as the box and their tops are flat.
- Don't wait too long! Picking them early helps more mushrooms grow laterÂ
Harvesting before spore release ensures future flushes! So don't leave emtoo long.

Unlock a Second (and Third!) Harvest: Your Mushroom Revival Guide
Congratulations on your first bountiful harvest! Now, let's ensure your Mushroom Box keeps on giving. To coax a second (and even third!) flush of delicious mushrooms, we'll need to rehydrate the "magic" within.
Here's the secret:
- The Hydration Ritual: Gently remove the grow bag from the box. Think of it as giving your mushrooms a little spa treatment!
- The 10-Minute Soak: Carefully submerge the grow bag in a bucket of cool, clean water for approximately 10 minutes. This allows the wood substrate, the very heart of your mushroom's growth, to replenish its moisture.
- Drip-Dry: Allow the grow bag to drip dry thoroughly. This is crucial! Too much moisture can lead to unwanted mold growth.
- Return to the Stage: Place the grow bag back into the box, ready for its encore performance.
- Patience Pays Off: Just like before, within 1-21 days, you'll witness the exciting emergence of new mushroom pins. The mycelium is ready to do its thing again!
