🍄 How does it work?

Clear instructions can be found on the back of the box:

1. Open the box and cut a small window in it.

2. Spray a little water on it every day.

3. Harvest your first mushrooms in 10 days!

Each kit yields up to 2 kg of oyster mushrooms, spread over three harvest.
The first harvest is the most abundant; the subsequent ones are about half as large.

🌡️ Ideal conditions

This variety can be grown year-round at temperatures between 10°C and 20°C indoors—in the kitchen, garage, or basement.

Oyster mushrooms need indirect natural light and a humid environment, free from drafts and direct heat.

💧 Gardening Tips

To boost future harvests:

• Rehydrate the growing medium: remove the bag, soak it in water overnight, drain it, and put it back in place.

• Give it a cold shoc: leave the kit in a cool place overnight (in the fridge or outside) to restart fruiting.

✂️ harvest

Harvest the clusters before the edges of the caps begin to curl up.
When growth slows down and the caps turn light gray, that’s the right time.
Pull the clusters out by gently twisting them, then remove the stumps before the next growth cycle.
Young mushrooms keep better and are more tender when cooked.

🧊 Preservation

• Before use: Store the kit unopened in a cool place (≤10 °C) for up to6 to 8 weeks.

• After harvest: Fresh oyster mushrooms will keep for 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator in a paper bag, or longer if they are dried, frozen, or preserved in jars.
