Grow Your Own with our Super Size Grow Kits
You too can grow mushrooms. Grow kits make it almost effortless. Simply cut a large (7" x 7") shallow X across the front of the bag/ block. Spritz this area with water 6 times per day. In 10 days to 2 weeks you will have your first flush of mushrooms. After harvesting you can open the box, turn around the block and do the same on the opposite side of the block.
We recommend growing them indoors to keep them away from insects. Place them out of direct sunshine but where they are exposed to light. In winter, it is important to keep them away from heat outlets that can dry them too much.
Our Grow Kits are Super Sized (10 lb blocks!), so you will get Super Sized flushes of mushrooms. Depending on the type of mushroom, you can easily get four pounds of mushrooms off of each block. (Pink oysters are typically slightly less).
In summer we offer Pink Oysters, Phoenix Oysters and Lion's Mane grow kits and in winter, Blue Oysters, Chestnuts and Lion's Mane.
TIPS:
-
There should be no need to lift the flaps made by the X cut. The mushrooms themselves usually raise this flap as they grow. If not, you can slightly loosen the flaps but keep in mind that keeping them closed, keeps needed moisture inside of the block.
-
Oysters are ready just before their leaves curl up. Lion's Mane are ready when their 'teeth' have just started growing out and the mushroom becomes less dense.
-
Harvest by placing your fingers under the mushroom and lifting up gently.
