HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CHESTNUT MUSHROOM KIT?
With proper care, your kit will yield flavorful mushrooms:
- Misting: Spray the block with water 2 to 3 times a day to maintain optimal moisture.
- Temperature: Keep the room at 21°C, and away from direct sunlight.
- Multiple harvests: With consistent care, your kit may produce up to three harvests.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
- Fully colonized nutrient block: A substrate made from hardwood sawdust, wheat bran, and water, pre-colonized with mycelium. Ready for cultivation—no inoculation needed.
- Humidity bag: The block is packed inside a humidity bag to maintain moisture and prevent contamination.
- Durable box: A compact box that holds everything together and is easy to store.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS:
- Open the front flap of the box.
- Cut an “X” in the plastic bag covering the sawdust block.
- Spray the exposed surface with water 2 to 3 times daily to help the mushrooms grow.
Note: A soft, white, mold-like layer on the block’s surface is completely normal, indicating healthy, active mycelium.
CARE TIPS:
- Maintain humidity: Keep the surface of the block slightly damp, not wet, to avoid rot.
- Multiple harvests: Proper care may reward you with multiple flushes over time.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
If you’re not ready to start growing right away, store the kit:
- At room temperature: For up to 2 weeks.
- In the refrigerator (4-6°C): For up to 1 month.
Prolonged storage may cause mushrooms to begin sprouting, slightly reducing the yield.
This Chestnut Mushroom Grow Kit is lovingly produced on a small, family-run farm in the scenic Kaunas district of Lithuania.

Inside, you’ll find a pre-colonized substrate block, a humidity bag, and a short growing guide. It’s all packed conveniently and ready for your first harvest.
How to open it properly?
Tear open the box lid where marked. Then, using a clean knife, cut an X-shape into the plastic packaging at the same spot. The block is ready to grow – keep it in the same position as in the box.
Care tips
Mist the block with clean water 2–3 times per day. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts – mushrooms prefer a cool, bright, and humid environment.
Storage tips
If you’re not ready to start growing yet, keep the kit in the fridge (+1 to +5 °C) for up to one month. Important: do not remove it from the bag and store it horizontally.
