The mushroom kit includes  3 mushroom fruiting bags, a sprayer, a cutter .

Process of Growing Mushrooms

How I started growing the mushroom?  I started with what’s available at home.

Step 1 : I place it on the unused plastic box which you can see on the video.

Step 2 :  Everyone in the family take turns in spraying 3 times everyday.

Step 3:  We consistently spray and patiently wait for the results and finally, after 10 days, a small white portion is showing on the fruiting bag.

Step 4 : From growing to eating.  It’s so fun while taking care of them and be able to harvest mushroooms at home.

These are great experiences, but as everyone says, you will face challenges and problems. There was an instance when we had to travel, and we could not spray it for 3 days. Another problem encountered was one of the fruiting bags had developed mold contamination which I still have to research what caused such contamination.
