Twice each day, lift the plastic flaps on your bag and use the spray bottle to spray the substrate with water 10-12 times. Continue this until baby mushrooms have begun to peek out. General rule of thumb is to check to ensure that the surface exposed is moist. Mushrooms grow best in wet environments, so don't be afraid to add more water if things look dry.

It is normal to see mushroom growth around the mushroom kit. Do not make any additional cuts or else the mushroom kit may dry out. For optimal results, follow the instructions provided or watch our video tutorial on our website.

If You’re Traveling, We Recommend Asking A Friend Or Family Member To Mist The Growing Kit Daily To Maintain Proper Moisture Levels. Consistent Care Is Key To Ensuring A Healthy Mushroom Harvest.

Your mushrooms will emerge from the kit over the course of the next 10-12 days. The first 6-7 days you might not see mushrooms, but once baby mushrooms start to appear, they should double in size until maturity. It may look something like this:

It is normal to not see mushrooms sprouting within the first week. Continue to give it water daily and be patient. You will start to see visible caps forming, which are dark in color, and will double in size each day afterwards.

The main factors affecting mushroom growth are humidity and temperature. If you live in an arid or very dry climate, your mushrooms may need more frequent waterings to keep them nice and wet. Placing a humidifier in the same room may also help better regulate the surrounding moisture for the mushrooms. In addition, our oyster mushrooms will grow best when temperatures are between 65-68 °F (18-20 °C). If it is a tad cooler they will grow more slowly, as the temperature your kit is growing in also affects how much water is being absorbed by your mushrooms.

Your Mushroom Farm grows gourmet Oyster mushrooms. They're commonly found in Europe and Asia and are used increasingly in a variety of cuisines for their velvety texture, smooth taste, and dense nutrient content. Our company currently only sells pink, white and brown oyster mushrooms.

Oyster mushrooms have a mild flavor that is very versatile when it comes to the food they complement. They have a delicate, velvety texture that pairs well in pastas, skewers, soups, salads, and anything else you like to put mushrooms in! They taste amazing, especially when they're so fresh straight from your mushroom farm. They're best eaten fried or sautéed: we don't recommend eating them raw.

Each Mushroom kit is unique, which means the amount of growth you may see from your kit can vary depending on the growing conditions. Some kits will grow 2-3 large mushroom caps and others will have a dozen smaller caps with each harvest - mushrooms grow in such a way that it is very hard to predict exactly what you'll harvest! We guarantee you will have 1-2 servings of mushrooms from each of two harvests - if you don't think you're seeing this growth reach out to us with a picture and we'll be happy to help!

Harvesting your mushrooms at the right time is essential for optimal taste and texture. Watch our for these signs to know when it's time to harvest:

•They have stopped doubling in size daily
•They have started to slightly discolor
•They have a distinct brown ring around the edge of their cap
•They have dropped spores underneath the caps
•They have begun to dry out

You can harvest your mushrooms by pulling them off the kit - caps & stems. The whole bunch will 'snap' off the substrate naturally. The caps will be different sizes - this is normal and you want to harvest them all together. It's important to remove all mushrooms from your kit when they are done growing because if left on the substrate they will dry out within a day’s time.

After your harvest, we suggest eating your mushrooms the same day since your harvest is fresh. You should use them within a week. Store them in a dry, airtight container, in the fridge, until ready to cook!

Oyster mushrooms are very versatile! Add them as a tasty addition to any stir fry dish, or sauteé and top a burger with them. Check out more recipes here!
