🌱 Best Growing Conditions

For best results, keep your Shiitake kit in a cool, humid environment:

• Temperature: 7-20°C (prefers cooler conditions)

• Humidity: Mist daily and maintain a moist surface

• Light: Indirect natural light is ideal

• Airflow: Moderate fresh air to prevent stalling and promote healthy mushroom growth

With the right care, you’ll see Shiitake mushrooms forming on the block surface, developing into the signature brown-capped clusters ready to harvest.
