How much does a mushroom grow kit yield?
Expect to grow: 2 harvests of mushrooms / 150g – 300g The first crop will always be the biggest. We’ve had some customers grow up to 4 flushes of mushrooms from our kits but on average you’ll get 2 harvests. Once the kit has run out of nutrients and water it will be “spent” and won’t produce any more mushrooms.
How do you clean a mushroom grow kit?

Where is the best place to put a mushroom kit?
We recommend placing your grow kit on your kitchen bench, out of direct sunlight. This will allow you to check on them daily and serve as a reminder to spray your grow kit regularly to keep humidity high. Keep it out of wind or away from heaters which can cause it to dry out.

Most mushroom kits will store for 2-3 months if necessary. To store your kit, keep it in the fridge. This puts the mycelium into hibernation and will prevent it escaping the box early. Don’t keep it somewhere it could exceed 30 degrees Celsius.
How do you maximize mushroom fruiting?
Supplementation is the process of adding a nitrogen rich nutrient to the mushroom substrate in order to increase the potential yield. This works by providing the mycelium with a larger nutritional base in which to support stronger mycelium and produce larger, healthier fruits.
What is the fastest growing mushroom?
The fastest-growing mushrooms are oyster mushrooms. Substrate bags will become fully colonised by mycelium in just 10-14 days. Oyster mushrooms will then be ready to harvest 7 days after fruiting. And once harvested, new crops will appear every 7-14 days!
