Lightly mist with water using a spray bottle. Avoid overwatering. 
Optional: Use a humidifier for easier humidity control. 
Harvest once mushrooms fully fan out by gently twisting and pulling them away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I store the grow box before using it?
Store in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months for best results. Refrigeration can extend storage up to 6 months.
Do I need special equipment?
No special equipment is required. A spray bottle and indirect light are enough. A humidifier may improve results.
Will I definitely get 2–3 harvests per box?
The first flush is guaranteed. Additional flushes depend on harvesting timing, humidity, airflow, and growing conditions. Many growers achieve 2–3 flushes with proper care.
How do I know when to harvest?
Harvest when the caps flatten but before the edges begin curling upward and releasing spores.
How long do fresh mushrooms last?
Fresh mushrooms typically last 5–7 days in the fridge when stored in a breathable container such as a paper bag. For best flavour, cook within 2–3 days.
Can children grow these mushrooms?
Yes! These kits are popular educational projects for children. Adult supervision is recommended during the cutting step.
What can I do with the substrate afterwards?
The used substrate can be added to compost or buried in the garden, where additional mushrooms may naturally grow under suitable conditions.
