Mycelium Kit Aftercare

Incubate the bottle in a warm, dark area for 3-4 weeks.
(Anywhere inside your house should be fine.)
 

Monitor the growth towards the end of the 3rd week.
(Check if a white film has formed around the cardboard.)

 

Once the mycelium has formed a film around the cardboard, remove the polyfill and place it in a space with fresh air and indirect light.
(Shower rooms are great environments for this because of the high humidity, extraction fans and opaque indirect lighting.)
 

Soon, mushrooms will begin to grow from the holes on the sides of the bottle.
(It's time to harvest just before the rims of the mushroom caps straighten out)

 

 

Additional notes:
 

- If you notice any green mould form inside your bottle, sorry but the experiment has failed - please dispose of it safely in your garden or a bin bag! (white is fine, this is the mycelium)

 

- You may try to improve your results by adding a tray of water below your bottle and placing it in a transparent bag around it (IT STILL NEEDS TO BREATH)... Alternatively, you may choose to mist the bottle twice a day (Don't spray the mushrooms directly spray around the mushrooms)
