When will they start growing?
After cutting the X, you can usually expect growth within 7–21 days.
Once the first small pins appear, your mushrooms will grow quickly and are generally ready to harvest within approximately 7–14 days.
Where should I keep my log?
Keep your mushroom log in a clean, bright indoor space with indirect light and fresh airflow.
Avoid direct sunlight and strong drafts. Ideal fruiting temperatures are between 13–20°C.
How often should I mist?
Mushrooms love moisture. Gently mist the growing area at least three times per day.
If the environment is particularly dry, you can also place a humidifier nearby to maintain good humidity.
Will they grow again?
Yes! With the right care and suitable growing conditions, your log can produce approximately 2–3 harvests.
After harvesting, allow the log to rest. New mushrooms will usually begin appearing again within approximately 14–21 days.
