Step 1 Open your Ready-to-grow mushroom kit box and check the label on the bag inside to determine mushroom species. Step 2 Are you ready to use the Ready to grow Mushroom kit? If the answer is no, place the kit in a cold fridge (1-5 degrees). Mushrooms can be kept in fridge for up to 8 weeks. If the answer is yes move on to step 3 Step 3 Take your kit out of the box, place it on the bench and allow air to inflate the bag. (NOTE: Air is removed during transport to fit in the box). Step 4 Approximately 1 inch above the substrate, with a pen punch 4x holes into the bag. The holes allow the Co2 created from the mushrooms to escape from the bag. Step 5 Cut bag open at top for misting. Step 5 Mist approximately every 2 days OR if there are no water droplets on the internal plastic walls of the bag. Peg bag closed when not misting. (see image below) Step 6 Harvest your mushrooms. When your mushrooms are ready, pick all of them at once and then close the bag up again and wait for another flush to come through.
