🚀 How It Works (The Easy Way)

Step 1: Join Our Growers Group - Essential for success! Get real-time expert advice within 30 days of receiving your box

Step 2: Cut - Make an X-shaped slit on the box where indicated on the front.

Pro tip: fold the lid of your mushroom box inside and cut a secondary X on the top of the box. You'll increase the chance of growing 2 clusters at once so you wont have to wait for the regrowth. 

Step 3: Mist - Spray lightly with water 2x daily (morning & evening)

Step 4: Harvest - Twist and pull clusters when caps flatten (4-21 days)

Step 5 (Optional): Second Flush - If you harvested before spores dropped and conditions are ideal, you may get additional flushes. Refrigerate 7-10 days between harvests.
