Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit Instructions:
This sawdust block has been myceliated with oyster mycelium and is ready to produce mushrooms. This can be done outdoors between April-November or indoors year-round.
1. Slice the side of this bag in 1 or 2 places (slice should be 1-3”) with a sharp knife, mushrooms will fruit out of these holes. Baby mushroom pins will begin emerging within 2 weeks of opening.
2. We suggest putting your block on a plate or tray, in an area with indirect sunlight and in a place where it can be watered daily. Keep in an area that is within 44-80F, oyster mushrooms grow best in these temperatures.
3. Spray the openings you made on the block once or twice a day with water. Watch for the baby mushrooms “pins” to appear.
4. Mushrooms grow quickly, once you see the baby pins emerging be prepared to harvest your first mushrooms within 2-3 days. Harvest before the caps flatten out and become soggy or soft.
5. This mushroom growing kit is capable of growing approximately 2lbs of mushrooms, over the course of 3 months from the time you open it. You can expect 2 -4 flushes of mushrooms to grow. Once the kit stops producing you can use it to inoculate paper waster, coffee grounds or your compost - check the instructional graphic on the left.
