Days 2-14
Do not pull the top of the bag open, let the mushrooms push it open themselves as they mature.
Do not make any extra cuts in the bag or pull the top down, the bag plays an important role maintaining humidity for the mushrooms.
Do not cut it off, pull the entire cluster right out.
We like to store the mushrooms in paper bags or a tub lined with paper towels. The mushrooms will last up to 5 days in the fridge if kept in a plastic container that is lined with paper towels.
The second crop can take anywhere from 14-28 days to sprout.
If you notice any green or black growth at this point please send us a photo and we will be able to help.
Once the bag has stopped producing, it can be composted or used as a top-mulch for you garden beds. Worms love it!
