    How to Grow your Gourmet Mushroom Kit

    Watch as the mushroom mycelium colonizes the substrate. Mushrooms will quickly appear on the surface. Remove the lid and mist 4-5 times a day. Harvest your mushroom flush once the caps start straightening out and cook them into a delicious meal. It takes about 7-14 days for your first harvest. For more information visit the grow page.


    When to Harvest

    The mushrooms are ready to harvest when the tips of the caps begin curling up. Harvest by pulling up at the base of the mushroom where it meets the substrate. Use scissors to trim the bottom where the stem meets the gills. Now they’re ready to cook or store them in the fridge.


    How to cook

    Heat a skillet with olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add the mushrooms, cooking for 5-7 minutes until they release moisture and turn golden brown. Season with salt, pepper, and optional fresh herbs for added flavor. Stir occasionally and continue cooking until the mushrooms reach a meaty texture. Remove from heat and serve, incorporating them into a variety of dishes like pasta, salads, or as a delectable side.
