How to grow
Grow oyster mushrooms indoors
Two short videos cover setup, daily care, harvest, and a possible bonus crop. Start with the first video, then keep the guide below nearby while your kit grows.
Replacement support applies to the first indoor harvest when the kit is set up and cared for according to these instructions. View our Replacement Policy.
After your first harvest
Encourage a bonus crop
A second crop is not guaranteed, but this video shows how to reset the kit and support additional growth after the first harvest.
The growing environment
Choose the right indoor spot
Keep your kit somewhere convenient for daily care, in a well-ventilated indoor area with bright indirect light.
Easy to mist daily
A kitchen counter or another clean indoor surface makes twice-daily misting easier to remember.
Bright indirect light
Choose a well-lit room without placing the grow bag in direct sunlight.
Away from drafts and heat
Keep the kit away from open windows, strong drafts, heating or air-conditioning vents, and the stove.

Official grow kit instructions
Follow these steps after watching the setup video. Start your kit as soon as possible after it arrives.
-
Make the opening
Cut an X about 2 inches long and 1 inch deep. Keep the plastic flaps attached.
-
Prepare the surface
Lift the flaps and lightly scratch the exposed substrate with a fork.
-
Add water and place
Add 3 tablespoons of water. Place the kit indoors in bright, indirect light.
-
Mist twice daily
Use 10 to 12 sprays on the X opening in the morning and evening.
-
Watch them grow
Growth may take 1 to 2 weeks. Once pins appear, check the kit daily.
-
Harvest the cluster
Harvest as the cap edges begin to thin, before discoloration. Twist at the base and harvest the entire cluster at once.

White or pink fuzzy growth can be healthy mycelium and does not automatically mean mold. If you see green growth, unusual dark patches, or notice a sour or ammonia-like odor, stop making changes, take clear photos, and contact support.
