Q: What is a mushroom grow kit?

A: A mushroom grow kit is a container that contains everything you need to grow your own mushrooms at home, including a block of mycelium and other materials.

Q: How do I use a mushroom grow kit?

A: Using a mushroom grow kit is simple! Just follow the instructions that come with the kit, which will involve spraying the block of mycelium with water and keeping it in a well lit place, out of direct sunlight. Depending on the type of mushroom, the growth time can vary from 2-4 weeks.

Q. What do I do if the kit is past it's best before date?

A. The mycelium may be running low on oxygen at this point. Remove the mushroom bag from inside the box. If it looks healthy - meaning consistent white colour - you can fruit following the normal directions. If part of the bag no longer looks white or mostly not white you should untape the folded over section and 'fluff' the bag so that the white filter patch can exchange air. Wait approximately a week for the white mycelium to overtake the substrate again, then remove the air and fruit as normal.

Q: Do I need any special equipment to use a mushroom grow kit?

A: No, you don't need any special equipment to use a mushroom grow kit. The kit typically comes with everything you need to grow your mushrooms, including a spray bottle.

Q: How many times can I harvest mushrooms from a mushroom grow kit?

A: Most mushroom grow kits will fruit two times, but it depends on the specific kit. We guarantee the first harvest, so if you follow the instructions and don't get any mushrooms, we'll replace the kit for you.
