The mushroom mycelium will sense the oxygen in the air and produce mushroom 'pins,' another term for 'baby mushrooms.'ĥ) It usually takes 5-14 days for pins to form. We suggest putting it on a kitchen counter close to a sink. (If your mushrooms start to grow but dry up and die, your growing conditions may be too dry and you should make a humidity tent!)Ĥ) Place your kit in the most humid part of your home and outside of direct sunlight. Spritz your kit at least twice daily - more if you're in a particularly dry climate. Fill the sprayer with tap water and generously spritz the plastic where you sliced your 'X' shape. Open the front of your kit along the perforated line and dispose of the remaining cardboard.Ģ) Slice an 'X' into the plastic underneath with a sharp knife or scissors.ģ) Lift open the top of your box to find the sprayer and instruction booklet. The mycelium of some species is more prominent than others.ġ) Inside this box is an amended sawdust block that has been completely colonized by mushroom mycelium. It may appear covered with a soft, white, mold-like substance - that's the mushroom mycelium! It is completely normal. Your kit includes an amended sawdust block fully colonized with mushroom mycelium. (We 100% guarantee your first flush of mushrooms, but hope you'll try for 2 or 3!) With continued proper care, you should be able to get multiple flushes. Our USDA-certified organic blue oyster mushroom kits are reliable producers and tend to yield large flushes of beautiful light grayish-brown to deep blue-gray mushrooms when given adequate humidity. Blue oyster mushrooms are velvety, savory, and mild and pair perfectly with just about any recipe! Blue oysters are a staple here at North Spore (going all the way back to when we began as an urban farm.) After perfecting our blue oyster kits over the years, they’ve become one of the easiest kits to get multiple fruitings from and should produce a second flush of mushrooms (or more!)
