Medium Size Mushroom Grow Box - Blue Oyster

Cultivation Instructions for Mushroom Grow Boxes:

1. Prepare the X-Cut: Using a clean, sharp knife or scissors, make a clean "X" cut in the front box opening. This cut will serve as the access point for your mushrooms to grow.
2. Misting Routine: Establish a daily misting routine to maintain proper humidity levels within the grow box. Using a clean spray bottle, gently mist the inside of the box, ensuring that the substrate remains evenly moist. Do not oversaturate; aim for a fine mist.
3. Ideal Location: Place the grow box in a suitable location with consistent temperatures between 18-24°C. Place the grow box in a well-lit area with indirect or diffused light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can overheat the box. A well-lit room or a location with ambient light is ideal for mushroom growth.
4. Patience and Observation: Mushroom growth will begin within 2-3 weeks, depending on the variety. Be patient and monitor the progress. Initially, you'll notice small pins or tiny mushroom heads emerging from the X-cut.
5. Harvesting: Once the mushrooms have reached the desired size and are firm to the touch, it's time to harvest. Use clean scissors or a knife to cut them close to the substrate. Harvesting can occur over several days as mushrooms mature at different rates.
6. Repeat Harvests: Many varieties may provide multiple flushes of mushrooms. After the initial harvest, continue to mist the box and maintain suitable conditions to encourage additional growth cycles.
7. Enjoy Your Harvest: Incorporate your freshly harvested mushrooms into your favourite culinary creations and savor the flavor of homegrown gourmet mushrooms.

Remember that each mushroom variety may have its own specific growth patterns and timing, so refer to the product-specific guidelines for more accurate information. Proper care, patience, and attention to detail will ensure a successful and bountiful mushroom harvest.
