Frequently Asked Questions
-
For optimum mushroom yields, it is best to start the kit when you receive it. However, if you don’t wish to start the kit immediately, they can be stored in the fridge or a cold shed. We have grown kits that were stored in the fridge for 4 months with no issues, although we recommend starting them within a month for best results.
-
Lion’s Mane mushrooms take a bit longer to grow than oyster mushrooms so you have to have some patience! The kit will take around 3-4 weeks to produce the first flush of mushrooms - but the wait is definitely worth it! This time can vary depending on the temperature and humidity.
-
Our Lion’s Mane grow kits normally last 2 - 3 harvests.
-
Ideally you would spray the mushroom grow kit twice a day (4-5 squeezes on the spray bottle each time) but there are bound to be some days where this isn’t possible. We have tested lots of the kits in our home and sometimes forget or are away for a night or two – as long as you keep spraying consistently mushrooms will grow! Yields may be reduced if the mushrooms don’t get adequate moisture but you should still get mushrooms
-
Lion’s Mane mushrooms are ready to harvest when the ‘spines’ are roughly 1cm long.
-
When the kit has finished, recycle the cardboard, throw away the grow bag and use the mushroom substrate material as a top layer on soil. The substrate helps improves soils and can be used on indoor potted plants or outdoors. Crumble the mushroom substrate on top of soil. It is likely more mushrooms will grow from this in the future.
