Look carefully at your sawdust block to see if the mushrooms have already started to pin (grow) and follow the yes or no instructions.
YES - remove the log from the plastic bag and go to step 3
NO - go to step 1.
Step 1 - Cut the top of the bag off and fill with cold water.
Step 2 - After 12 hours, drain the water out of the bag and remove the log from the plastic bag.
Step 3 - Place somewhere humid and mist with water twice per day.
As a suggestion, a big bucket inside your house with water in the bottom and a brick to sit your kit on out of the water works very well. Cover 3/4 the lid of the bucket with clear plastic to help keep the humidity high, make sure you fan fresh air in the bucket when you mist twice per day.
Step 4 - Watch your mushrooms grow before your eyes.
After your first flush sit your log somewhere outside of the bucket to dry out and to settle for around 10 days.
-Completely submerge the sawdust block in a bucket of cold water
-You will need to weight it down to keep it submerged
-You can add ice to the water to chill it even further
-Keep it submerged for about 12 hours
-Remove, drain excess water and place in its final location
NOTE
You should get up to 3 flushes of mushroom, the biggest being the first flush and a little less each time after.When your kit is finished, don't throw it away as you can use it for compost in your garden.
If you not ready to use the kit you can stick it in the fridge until you are, as they will store for up to a month no problem.

Things you need:
- Clean knife
- Spray bottle filled with cold boiled water or bottle water
1. Whit clean sharp knife cut X on plastic bag, this is where mushrooms will start grow out, ( you can cut small multi X, or if already kit start pining cut X everywhere are pins.)
2. 1-2 times per day give a light mist on the X so the mushrooms will start grow.
After first flush you can turn your block around and repeat step 1 and 2. If you do so put tape over old cut to prevent air get in.*
After 2nd flush of mushrooms you may need to rehydrate your kit.( kit fell very light, over summer you may need to rehydrate your kit after 1st flush)
- Submerge block in cold boiled water for 12-24 hours
- Drain excess water and put block on fruiting place.
*NOTE:
After every flush, rest the block in a dark dry place for two weeks
If the block has dried, submerge it in water for a minimum of 12 hours up to 24.
Remove the block from the water and allow any excess to drain.
When the block has drained, place it in your chosen fruiting place.
Repeat steps 1-2

Top fruiting mushroom kit (Nameko, King Oyster, Swordbelt, Enoki)
Top fruiting mushrooms need high humidity to fruit evenly.
We recommend either making a terrarium or fruiting inside the bag as below.
Cut top of the bag. Opening on the top allow the CO2 created from the mushrooms to escape from bag.
Place your kit somewhere cool, ( under 20 degrees )*with enough light to read a book.
Mist approximately every 2 day OR if there no water droplets on the internal plastic wall of the bag.**
Harvest your mushrooms
When your mushrooms are ready, pick all of them at once and then close the bag up again and wait for another flush to come through. After 2-3 flashes your block may need to re-hydrating, do this by soaking it in water for 5-12 hours.
Note:
*under 20 degrees ideal, but going to fruit under or above that temperature
** during Sumer have to mist more often
During hot weather your block maybe need to be re-hydrated after 1st or 2nd flush.
If you not pick up all mushrooms at once, should not be any issue but not close the bag while have mushrooms in
Nameko is slow growing mushrooms it's take 4-6 weeks to fruit

nullHow it works:
Mushrooms are ready for harvest about 7 - 10 days after they start to form and are very easy to grow.
Cut a +/x in the Bag and mist at least twice per day (morning and night best) or cut off top.*
Use boiled cold water for mist.
After your first flush of mushrooms put the block in box(carton) or paper bag in dark and dry space wait for 1-2 weeks, after that t soak your mushroom block in cold water for 12 hours ( you can put in the fridge- optional) this will re hydrate and cold shock you block into making more mushrooms.
Remove the block from the water and allow any excess to drain. When the block has drained, place it in your chosen fruiting place.
Keep your mushroom block somewhere humid like the bathroom, on the kitchen Bench or in a large plastic container (terrarium**) so you can watch it grow.
NOTE:
After every flush, rest the block in a dark dry place for up to two weeks
If the block has dried, submerge it in water for a minimum of 12 hours up to 24.
Remove the block from the water and allow any excess to drain.
When the block has drained, place it in your chosen fruiting place.
