    Lion's mane mushrooms have a unique, fluffy texture that resembles crab or lobster meat. When raw, they emit a mild, earthy aroma and offer a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. Cooking them enhances their tenderness and reveals a rich, savory profile with a hint of sweetness and a delicate seafood-like essence.

How to Fruit your Mini Farm

2. With a clean, sharp knife, cut an X into the plastic.

3. Place your Mini Farm in an indoor location with ambient light, but out of direct sunlight

4. Spray with water 2x per day, mushrooms will start to appear in under 2 weeks!

FAQ

No, most gourmet mushies like darkness half of the day, and dim light the other half of the day. Just like if they were growing under a tree canopy. As long as they are away from direct sunlight they will thrive!

Inside your kit box is a living organism, we recommend opening it upon purchase.

If you’re not ready to use it, keep your Mini Farm in the fridge for up to 6 weeks.

All of the strains we sell are vigorous, so after storing for a few weeks they may start fruiting inside the box! Strains like Lion’s Mane and Pink oysters are known for premature pinning (they sometimes start fruiting before the box is opened.)
Do not put Pink Oysters & Yellow Oysters in the fridge. Being a tropical strain, it doesn’t like the cold “brrrr” 🥶🥶

Anywhere away from direct sunlight, such as a kitchen counter or an office room.

Look for a cooler corner in your house, it’s always better to be on the cooler side than the warmer side of the recommended temperature range. 

We recommend growing inside as temperatures and humidity don’t fluctuate as much.

We guarantee at least one crop of mushrooms when following our  instructions. But it’s likely you’ll get a second, third and even fourth crop with care and patience.

In terms of yields, expect about 200g to 300g on your first crop of Oysters (remember, mushrooms are light so volume is high). 

Following flushes are likely to be smaller and smaller until the block runs out of energy.

To harvest, reach your hand between the mushroom cluster and the box, twist and pull just enough to break the cluster off the block. You can also cut them off carefully with a sharp knife.

You might have a few baby mushrooms left on the box, remove them all before you start spraying again for a another crop.

Inside your kit box is a living organism called mushroom mycelium, we recommend opening it upon purchase. If you’re not ready to use it, keep your Mini Farm in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. If you store it too long, they may start fruiting inside of the box.

🏠 Where’s the best place in my house to grow? 

Anywhere indoors, away from direct sunlight. Try to avoid the laundry if you use a drier often, or a bathroom where you have hot showers. Hot steam is not good for your Mini Farm.

We guarantee at least one crop of mushrooms when following our instructions. But it’s likely you’ll get a second, third and even fourth crop with care and patience.

In terms of yields, expect about 200g to 300g on your first crop of Oysters (remember, mushrooms are light so volume is high).

Following flushes are likely to be smaller and smaller until the block runs out of energy.

🌽 How do I harvest my kit’s mushrooms? 

To harvest, reach your hand between the mushroom cluster and the box, twist and pull just enough to separate the mushrooms from the box. You can also cut them off carefully with a sharp knife.

You might have a few baby mushrooms left, remove them all. You can then start spraying again for a another crop.
