Growing your kit
Getting set up, looking after your Mini Farm and getting the most crops out of it.
Our Mini Farm kits come as Italian Oyster, Blue Oyster, Pink Oyster, Yellow Oyster and Lion’s Mane.
Remove the stamped-out window at the front of your Mini Farm, then cut an X into the plastic with a clean, sharp knife. From there, spray with water twice a day. Step-by-step instructions for every variety are on our growing guides page.
Somewhere indoors with ambient light, but out of direct sunlight. Keep it away from hot steam from showers or clothes dryers.
Most kits start fruiting in under 2 weeks. Expect roughly 200g to 300g on your first crop of oysters.
With care and patience it is likely you will get 2, 3 or even 4 crops, with each flush a little smaller than the last. After harvesting, twist and pull every mushroom off the block — including the small ones — then start spraying again to trigger the next crop.
Yes — you can keep your kit in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. Much longer than that and it may start fruiting inside the bag.
Just three ingredients: sawdust, soy hulls and water.
