King Oyster Mushroom kit Growing Instructions
King oyster mushroom is the largest species in the oyster mushroom genus. King oyster mushroom grows slower than oyster mushroom, and it has a thick, meaty white stem and a small tan cap. This kit is very easy to set up. You may place the kit on a coffee table, counter, or desk - it will produce mushrooms virtually anywhere in your home or office with enough light and room temperature (55°F~75°F). Now you have the opportunity not only to enjoy watching these exotic mushrooms growing but also to enjoy eating the freshest mushrooms possible.
Step1
Cut the plastic bag that surrounds the log just below the plastic tie, and remove only the top part while keeping the rest of the plastic wrapped around the log to maintain proper humidity.
Step2
Place the log on a plate, and cover it with the humidity tent open side down as shown in the left figure.Mist both the exposed end of the log and the inside of the humidity tent at least twice a day.Wait for about 10 days for the mushrooms to start sprouting
Step3
When the mushroom cap edges are becoming flat, carefully pull off all mushrooms, and prepare your kit for the next flush.
Once you cut your mushroom bag open and set your kit in an ideal location, try not to move, shift, or jiggle the kit. Doing so may delay the fruiting of your mushrooms.
Growing Conditions
Temperature: 55°F~68°F. Deviation from the recommended temperaturerange, whether higher or lower, can result in a delayed formation of fruitbodies or even lead to the failure of the kit to grow.ï‚·
Light: The King oyster mushroom prefers low light conditions, so it's best toavoid exposing the kit to direct sunlight.
Water: Spray water frequently on the exposed surface of the log and the insideof the tent to maintain a high humidity environment. ensuring that condensationdroplets are always visible.
Get Ready For Your Next Flush
This kit can give your multiple flushes (batches) before it is exhausted. Each time, after you pick up all mushrooms:
-
Use a fork to scrap away the top layer of the log to remove any leftover mushrooms and stems.
-
Soak the whole log with the plastic wrapping still intact in water overnight (use a weight to keep the open end of the log under water).
-
Remove the log from underwater and drain any excess water, then use any plastic bag you have (like from a grocery store) to wrap the log completely. Place the log back into the box, close the box, and leave the log inside. Place the box in a dark place for 7 days.
-
After 7 days, open the box, remove the plastic bag you placed around the log (not the original plastic wrapping, which should always be kept with the log). Spray the open surface of the log and the inside of the humidity tent as before. Please note that you might see some white fuzzy stuff growing on the surface of the log, this is mushroom mycelium, not mold. Do not try to clean it off or discard the log.

Enjoy another growing flush!
