Instructions: 

Step 1: Remove the perforated panel located on the front of the mushroom grow kit. This allows easy access to the contents.

Step 2: Now, take a sharp knife or scissors and carefully slice an ‘X’ into the front of the substrate bag. The ‘X’ will provide the mycelium with a breath of fresh air while maintaining the necessary humid environment crucial for mushroom formation.

Step 3: To promote more vigorous pinning and higher yields, gently scrape away some substrate from where the bag was cut, using a fork.

Step 4: Take the substrate bag out of the box and place it face down in a bowl of water. Allow it to soak for approximately 6-9 hours to ensure proper hydration. Once the substrate is fully hydrated, drain any excess water from the bag before returning it to the box. To do this, hold the bag face down and gently shake it, then dry the bag with a paper towel.

Step 5: Choose a suitable location for your kit with good ambient humidity, such as near your kitchen sink. Providing a bit of natural light, but away from direct sunlight, will help your mushrooms develop a deep, rich colour. Be cautious not to expose the kit to excessive sunlight, as it may dry out.

Step 6: Your kit is capable of producing multiple flushes of mushrooms over the next few weeks. Follow the instructions in the included activity book and maintain proper hydration by spraying the substrate around one to two times a day using the provided spray bottle.

Step 7: Lift the plastic flaps (Once or twice a day) and use the included spray bottle to give the substrate (3-5 sprays). Your gourmet mushrooms will begin pinning in about one week! Watch for small white dots that start to emerge from your mushroom box. Once you spot them, it’s time for the next step.

Step 9: Once most of your gourmet mushroom caps are around 3-5cm wide, it’s time to harvest them! To harvest them, grab the mushrooms by their base (where they connect to the substrate), gently pull, and twist to remove.

Step 10: Try out one or some of our delicious mushroom recipes with your freshly harvested gourmet mushrooms.

Ingredients: 

The mushroom kits contain spawn cultivated on organic grain, using organic cultures sourced from our exclusive culture bank. These kits are meticulously handmade, incorporating a blend of non-GMO woods and supplements ethically sourced from farms and forests in Cape Town, South Africa.

Cautions and Considerations:

Please Note: Please cook mushrooms thoroughly. If it’s your first time eating this species, try start with a small amount to see how your body responds first. Mushrooms produce spores as a means of reproduction. These spores usually appear as a dusty surface on the kit and surface beneath the mushroom caps. People with compromised immune systems or allergies may want to consider fruiting their mushroom grow kits outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Airborne spores can sometimes cause respiratory irritation, this irritation can sometimes develop even in non-allergic or immune compromised people. Harvesting mushrooms before the caps completely open will reduce overall spore load.
