Using a sharp clean knife, carefully cut a 3 inch long “X” across the center of the side of the bag (opposite the label). Let the blade sink in about ¼ inch into the block. Do not remove the block from the bag!
Thoroughly mist the area you just cut, both the block and bag. Place your block in your chosen growing location.
Continue to mist the block or fruiting chamber 2-3 times daily with clean water.
Your mushrooms should begin to grow within 7 - 14 days.
Continue to lightly mist when humidity levels are low.
Your mushrooms should be ready to harvest 5-10 days after they begin to grow. Once you notice the edges begin to uncurl, it’s time to pick!
Harvest your mushrooms by gently twisting from their base.
Store your fresh mushrooms in a paper bag for up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
Oftentimes, you can successfully grow a second harvest by flipping the bag over and cutting on a new side, or simply restarting the process from step #2.
