Here's what you need to know to grow mushrooms from the comfort of your home. 🍄
are a mushroom's favorite words."They need to be kept at room temperature—or even a bit cooler—and misted constantly," says Carter. Since they require twice-daily misting, he notes that you might want to put them in a room that you pass through often, such as the kitchen. Basements, bathrooms, garages, or even under sinks are also good humid environments for them, as long as you remember to mist them.
Generally, mushrooms don't need much light since they prefer dark environments. It's important to keep in mind that direct sunlight is never a good idea. Although mushrooms thrive in damp and humid environments, they don't need to drink lots of water."Spritzing or misting twice a day works just fine," says Chau."Do not drown nor dry the mushroom block."
And as you notice mushrooms starting to form, Carter recommends misting around them rather than spraying them directly.A humid environment is an essential component for the success of growing mushrooms, especially when you reach that final fruiting stage."It's vital to keep it humid—but not soaking wet," says Tutt."Mushrooms are usually ready for harvest when their cap has finished forming and is just about to start unfurling," says Tutt.
Once they're ready, you can handpick your mushrooms or use a knife to harvest them. Since these beauties are grown in a controlled home environment, you don't need to go through the pain of before storing."When harvested, store mushrooms in the fridge for up to two weeks in a paper bag," says Chau.
