If you've been thinking about taking the next step in indoor mushroom cultivation from Table Top Farms (ready-to-fruit kits) to a more robust production, now is the time! This new mixed block set will give you a good introduction into cultivating different types of mushrooms in a grow room setting. Cultivation requires providing a fruiting area where you can monitor humidity and temperature. Your fruiting area can be anything from a small room with natural or artificial light and a basic ultrasonic household humidifier, but if you're just getting started, the simpler the better! If you are using a tub or terrarium container to house the block, reptile humidifiers are perfect as they can be set for slow, even humidification. A good plant mister is often all that is needed if you are simply tenting with plastic to keep in the humidity, a spritz morning and night per kit is often all that is necessary. Each mushroom likes a slightly different environment, but these 4 generally like temperature and humidity in the same parameters.
Time to First Fruiting: 7-28 days depending on mushroom species.
Fruiting Temperature: 55-70F (King Oyster definitely prefers the cooler range).
Humidity: 75-85% (a little higher than the typical/perfect household humidity of 50%).
Keep in mind that all blocks do not need to be fruited all at once! You can keep them tucked in the box they are shipped in; just place the box in a cool environment (32 to 50F) and take them out to fruit one by one over an 8-week period. Sorry, absolutely NO substitutions.
