Oyster Mushroom grow bag Instructions

Take your bag (which is populated with mycelium) and cut an X on the face
of the bag.

Make each line of the X about 6 centimetres long, creating flaps on the front of the bag. (don’t worry about your knife going into the substrate in the bag when you cut, it won’t harm the mycelium)

When you have cut the X, spray the face of the cut section with a mist of water, half a dozen times.
(Just use a basic clean spray bottle) Normal tap water is fine.

When the flaps of your X are down you should see some moisture, like condensation behind the plastic flaps you have created.

Place your Mushroom Bag somewhere handy, out of direct sunlight. Spray the X section with a water mist several times a day.

You do not need to lift the X flaps

Just keep a bit of condensation
on the back side of the plastic flaps and watch.

In approximately 3 to 5 days you should be seeing small baby Mushrooms.

Keep misting these regularly (3 - 4 times a day, to keep moist) as they grow.

They will grow quickly, so in approximately 7 to 14 days you can expect to harvest
the Mushrooms.

This is done when the caps just start to turn up. That is the premium time to
harvest.

Don’t leave your Mushrooms until the caps fully turn up or they will
drop spores and really be past being eatable.

To Harvest:
Break the Mushrooms and their stork bases away from the bag to harvest.
Clean off any substrate and use the whole Mushrooms.

What to do for repeat Flushes:

Turn the bag around and fold the top flap back over the spot from which you harvested your first flush. (the original X)

And repeat the steps from the first flush.

After the first 2 flushes, look to cut a third X anywhere on the bag you see small Mushrooms forming. Now you must cut carefully so as not to damage the developing Mushrooms.

Each Bag will produce 1-3 flushes and if you a lucky even a fourth flush.

Once the bag is no longer producing Mushrooms, simply place the bag contents in your garden it makes amazing compost.

You do not need to lift the X flaps

Just keep a bit of condensation
on the back side of the plastic flaps and watch.

In approximately 7 to 10 days you should be seeing small baby Mushrooms.

Keep MISTING the Mushrooms LIGHTLY, without directly soaking them. Just use the mist function on your spray bottle, held back a bit so they are really just benefitting from a small cloud of humidity. Do this 2-3 times a day.

If you want any assistance with your Lions Mane just send a pic on Facebook, so I can guide you.

Lions Mane is a slower growing Mushroom so in approximately 12 to 21 days you can expect to harvest the Mushrooms.

Harvest The Lions Mane when the teeth have formed almost like icicles.

To Harvest:
Break the Mushrooms and their stork bases away from the bag to harvest.
Clean off any substrate and use the whole Mushrooms.
