Usually, mushroom pins stop growing when there isn't enough humidity around the block. Don't panic! Your mushroom kit still has all the food needed to produce mushrooms. Simply pick off the dried-up pins, wait one week, letting the block dry out on a plate.

Is a mushroom business worth it? ›

Mushroom cultivation can be a profitable and rewarding business for those interested in sustainable agriculture and healthy eating. By choosing the right variety of mushrooms, obtaining the necessary supplies and equipment, and marketing your mushrooms effectively, you can start a successful mushroom-growing business.

The main structure of a fungus is mycelium, which looks like fuzzy white threads growing through the material you feed it. Seeing it in your kit indicates you have good growth.

There are varieties of mould that are white, but generally, any white you see growing will be the mushroom. If the mycelium of the mushrooms is strong, it will usually encircle (quarantine) the mould into a small space. Look for a brown liquid (it may just appear as dots) around the edges.

All good grow kits will come with proper guidance and advice for watering and misting your kits for the perfect growing conditions. 4. Many gourmet mushroom grow kits need light to grow, so keep them in a bright spot away from direct sunlight.

In nature, mushrooms grow in the cool, moist areas of the forest where they are sheltered from the weather and wind, so it's best to find a place like this in your house or backyard. Many people say to grow your mushrooms in the bathroom as it's an area that often has humidity from showers.
