HomeGrowers also features a wide range of mushroom grow kits. These are fun for the whole family. Mushroom grow kits are a great way to experiment with your own growth ability. Getting started is as easy as one, two, three.
Kits need to be placed in an area out of direct sunlight and an area that has sufficient airflow. You do not need to make sure that the kits are kept in the dark.
A good place to keep a mushroom grow kit is on the kitchen counter in a place where it will not be affected by direct sun. Place the kit on a tray to catch excess water run-off. Grey oyster mushrooms are great for beginners as they can be grown easily.
When the kits start pinning, the mushrooms would usually be ready in three to five days. When not in use, the kits can be placed in the fridge. Mushrooms need moisture and humidity to grow. Once a family has mastered the art of growing a few oyster mushrooms, intermediate grow kits can be bought, which include Poplar mushrooms.
