Quick Growing Guide
1. Choose Your Spot
Select a shady to partly shaded outdoor area directly on soil. Ideal locations include garden borders, under shrubs, or along wood chip pathways.
2. Prepare the Bed
Loosen the top layer of soil and spread 2–4 inches of hardwood chips (avoid cedar) or soil.
3. Add the Block
Break the grow block into chunks and distribute evenly over the prepared area.
4. Cover
Add another 2–4 inches of hardwood chips or soil to fully cover the spawn.
5. Water Well
Soak thoroughly after planting and keep the bed consistently moist (not waterlogged).
6. Wait & Harvest
Mycelium will colonize the chips/soil over several weeks. Expect mushrooms in early summer, continuing through summer and early fall in good conditions.
