Takes out the hard parts of growing mushrooms
I've bought and used a few of these kits and had success each time. I personally like to grow both side at once. This requires soaking for 6-8 hours, then turning over and soaking another 6-8. Spraying twice a day is more of a minimum, I sprayed several times a day to keep the growing area moist. The mushrooms will grow on the edges of the mycellium where you scrape it. So scrape small spots but make a lot of them. Leave about 50/50 scraped vs. un-scraped. If you want to grow one side at a time, you need to wait a few weeks before you grow the other side. Put the kit somewhere cool and dark while the mycellium heals. Then soak again and start the process over.
I make mushroom tacos with my harvests, but I use a seasoning mix I make myself instead of the recipe on the mushroom kit. Topped with fresh cilantro and corn salsa... they're delicious!
