Oyster mushrooms need some light to grow. Prefer indirect sunlight and avoid anything that could dry out the fruiting block: drafts, heaters, direct sun. Oyster mushrooms like humidity but do not like to be soaked constantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🔄 Harvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest the clusters before the edges of the caps curl up and start to brown slightly. At the start of growth, caps can double in size each day. When growth slows and caps turn light gray, it is the right time to harvest. Harvesting young mushrooms allows better preservation and a more tender texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePull off the clusters by twisting them. Remove remaining stem pieces from the substrate and keep it moist until the next harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, we get 3 harvests per fruiting block. The first is the most abundant, the following ones decrease by half each time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOyster mushrooms keep about 7 to 10 days in a paper bag in the refrigerator. For longer storage, you can freeze or preserve them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e💡 Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo encourage productivity of the second and third harvests:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-moisten the bags by soaking them overnight in water, then drain and put them back to grow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive a cold shock by placing the fruiting block overnight in a cool place (refrigerator or outside).
