They like shade, fresh air and humidity.

Use a spray bottle to lightly spray them to keep them happy.

A humidifier helps them thrive on auto pilot

Once they fan out fully, twist and pull them off right away.

Leaving them too long will let them drop spores and decay (this can happen within 24 hours)

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.
