GROWING CONDITIONS
Choosing the right spawn for you and your climate is key!
Your perfect match could be:
Pink Oyster: Grows in 18°C to 30°C
The Pink Oyster Mushrooms love the warm weather and aren't fussy when it comes to substrates. If you choose Pink Oyster make sure you use the spawn straight away as it can't be stored.
Wine Cap: Grows in 10°C to 30°C
The Wine Cap or Garden Giant loves to be grown outdoors. As its common name suggests, it can grow really big and it is quite robust once established when it comes to growing temperatures.
Expect to grow: Seasonally
Mushrooms are a living organism and it is very hard to predict exactly what you'll harvest! As you'll be growing with the elements, outdoors, your mushrooms will pop up when conditions suit - usually after heavy rain or a drop in temperature.
Once your mushroom garden bed is established, with a little bit of care, it can produce mushrooms for years to come!
Storage: If you're not going to start your Mushroom Garden straight away, store your mushroom spawn packet in the fridge for 3-6 months. Except for the Pink Oyster, which will die if refrigerated! Best start it right away.
SKILL LEVEL: BEGINNER
