MycoKit Instructions

Step-by-step Instructions

MycoKits make it easy to grow Pink or Blue Oyster mushrooms indoors — no experience or equipment needed. Just cut the bag, mist daily, and watch as mushrooms burst to life within weeks. These kits are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, or any humid spot that gets airflow and light.

​

Unboxing

• Cut the box open using scissors or knife

​

Cutting the Bag

• Use clean scissors or a knife to make an X or U-shaped slit in the plastic bag (on the front face), leaving the flaps of plastic laying over the exposed material.

​

Placement 

• Place the kit somewhere humid and cool, like a bathroom, basement, or kitchen countertop away from direct sunlight.

​

Humidity & Spraying

• Spray the slit in the bag 2–4 times daily, liberally

​

Temperature

• Pink Oysters: Aim for 60-75°F (21°C)

• Blue Oysters: Prefer 55-65°F (18°C)

​

Harvesting

• Harvest when the caps flatten out and color begins to fade, its time to harvest.

• Use a knife or scissors to cut the stems at the base, close to the block.

​

Yield Timeline

• Mushrooms should appear in 1 to 3 three weeks after unboxing.

• If nothing appears by week 3, your space may be too dry — increase misting.

​

Second/Third Flush

• After your first harvest, leave the kit exposed for 2 weeks.

• Either soak the entire block in cold water for 6 hours and continue spraying as instructed, or spray the block liberally, continuing to do so as instructed.

• Expect smaller harvests with each additional flush (2-3 flushes expected).

Shelf Life After Harvest

• Pink Oysters: Eat within 3-4 Days 

• Blue Oysters: Eat within 1 week.

​

After the First Flush 

• Crumble and add the spent block to your compost.

• It may still contribute nutrients and microbial life to your soil.
