How To Grow: Mushrooms can be grown indoor all year round. Find a cool humid position eg in the bathroom, in the laundry, under the kitchen sink or on the kitchen bench in a container.

The log should be submerged when first received and then sat in a permanent position and sprayed with a spray bottle twice a day to keep moist.

All logs come with instructions-

Cut a 5cm hole in the bag and place the bag somewhere humid like your bathroom or a green house.

Mist with water 2 times per day (1 morning and 1 night) and watch the mushrooms grow over the 7-10 days.

After the first flush, wait a few days then soak your mushroom block in water overnight (repeat after the 2nd flush) then place back in your growing area. This will shock your mushrooms to get going again.

After 7 - 14 days more mushrooms should start growing again, sometimes longer depending on the conditions.

You should get up to 500 grams - which is a lot of mushrooms - from 3 flushes (the more perfect the conditions the more they grow)

After 3 flushes you will not get anymore mushrooms.

The kits are Australian Made with organic materials used for the bag material.

PLEASE NOTE PRICE INCLUDES POSTAGE AUSTRALIA WIDE!

The logs are shipped within 24 - 48 hours of receiving your order and are ready to fruit upon arrival. There may occasionally be delays with kits and we will notify you as soon as we are aware of any delay.
