The 5 step mushroom growing program
WHERE TO PUT YOUR BOX
Indoors
Out of direct sun & wind
The Kitchen counter can work.
Step 1
Use a clean blade to cut an opening on the front of the box.
Once the mycelium inside can breathe fresh air, mushrooms will start to grow within 1-21 days.
STEP 2
Once mushrooms are visibly growing, you'll want to monitor them.
If they look dry, lightly mist them with water.
If they're growing long stems, they need more fresh air so you can open a window nearby.
Step 3
Trouble shooting. If you have any questions about your mushroom growing journey or need advice.

step 4
Harvesting at the right time.
Mushrooms taste the best when they are young. We strongly recommend harvesting yours when they're slightly bigger than a closed fist.
You can expect the next growth to begin within 1-21 days after harvest.
Leaving them too long
Will allow it to grow bigger into a beautiful display, however at this point, spores will begin to drop (which may reduce chances of a regrowth). The taste will diminish & the color will fade.
Step 5: spread the mycelium
Bury the spent mycelium in your garden in a shady, humid spot nearby a tree stump or wood mulch.
The mycelium will consume the wood and continue growing in months to come!
By spreading the mycelium you're helping heal the soil, break down pollutants and spread the growth of wild medicine in your local forests!
It's the gift that keeps on giving.

what to look out for
Sporulation
Its very important that you harvest your mushrooms while they're young. Once they pass their peak, their spores drop, things can get messy.
CONTAMINATION
Here’s What to do If you see mold growing on your mushroom box. it’s important to act quickly.
We recommend moving directly to Step 5 to help address the issue before it spreads. Mold can appear when the mycelium has weakened after producing mushrooms. It may also develop from airborne spores settling on the box.
How to prevent mold contamination:
Make sure to maintain proper airflow and humidity as outlined in the care instructions.
Avoid overwatering, as excess moisture encourages mold growth.
Keep your growing environment clean and free from dust and spores.
If you spot green mold on your mushroom box before your first flush, please contact us immediately at info.mushroombox@gmail.com. We’re here to help and will arrange a replacement code for you.
