GROW KIT INSTRUCTIONS

 To begin, open your box and take out the grow kit bag. Do not open or unwrap the bag as this will cause the grow block to dry out. With a clean and sharp knife, cut a 3" long diagonal line on one of the sides. 

 Your mushrooms will start to grow out of the diagonal line you have cut. If you see other mushrooms growing under the plastic, then let those additional ones die off so the block fruits into one main cluster where you made the diagonal cut. 

 It’s best to keep your block in a humid space and mist often. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Use the included spray bottle to mist your block at the diagonal cut 3-7 times daily. Lion's Mane mushrooms require a lot of water to grow and like to be in temperatures ranging between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. 

 The best place to keep your block is typically a kitchen or bathroom counter. Indirect light will help your mushrooms develop deeper colors, but is not required for them to grow. Keep out of direct sunlight as the block will get too hot and dry out quickly. 

 Mushrooms will begin to grow over the next 1-3 weeks. They will start out as tight clusters of tiny mushrooms (called pins) and will grow bigger over the next 1-2 weeks. Continue generously misting the block and mushrooms throughout the entire growing period.  Your Lion's Mane mushrooms will begin to develop their spines or "hair" as it mature. Once the spines reach approximately 1/4" long, you are ready to harvest. Just pull the entire cluster from the block, and trim off any excess substrate.

 After harvesting, let the block rest for a couple of weeks. Then, you can soak the plastic wrapped block in a bucket of water for 6-12 hours to increase humidity. Take the block out of the water, and drain any water still in the bag. Continue misting your block every day. In another 10-14 days, a new crop should begin to pin near the edges of your first cluster.  We only guarantee the first harvest, but sometimes you can get 2-3 total crops from your block. Happy growing! 

 To begin, open your box and take out the grow kit bag. Do not open or unwrap the bag as this will cause the grow block to dry out. With a clean and sharp knife, cut a 3" long X on one of the sides. 

 Your mushrooms will start to grow out of the X you have cut. Once they begin to grow, you might need to expand the cut to allow room for the mushrooms to fruit. If you see other mushrooms growing under the plastic, then let those additional ones die off so the block fruits into one main cluster at the X. 

 It’s best to keep your block in a humid space and mist often. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Use the included spray bottle to mist your block at the X 3-7 times daily. Oyster mushrooms require a lot of water to grow and like to be in temperatures ranging between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. 

 The best place to keep your block is typically a kitchen or bathroom counter. Indirect light will help your mushrooms develop deeper colors, but is not required for them to grow. Keep out of direct sunlight as the block will get too hot and dry out quickly. 

 Mushrooms will begin to grow over the next 1-2 weeks. They will start out as tight clusters of tiny mushrooms (called pins) in 2-5 days and will grow bigger over the next 1-2 weeks. Continue generously misting the block and mushrooms throughout the entire growing period.  Your mushrooms should be ready to harvest in 8-12 days from the time the pins emerge. 

 Harvest when your caps start to curl and reach 2-5” wide. Harvest before the mushroom caps start to flatten out. To harvest, grasp the mushrooms at the base where they emerge from the block, gently twist and pull to remove the entire cluster.  

 After harvesting, let the block rest for a couple of weeks. Then, you can soak the plastic wrapped block in a bucket of water for 6-12 hours to increase humidity. Take the block out of the water, and drain any water still in the bag. Continue misting your block every day.
