Button mushrooms kit, problems
    #19407761 - 01/12/14 10:40 AM (10 years, 19 days ago)

Hey guys.

I bought a button mushroom kit a bit ago. Received it on Thursday. It was a polystyrene box, with spore-infused compost inside, and a bag of casing layer to  put on after the mycelium has started appearing.

Thing is, I've left the box (With lid on, what told to you) in warmth for about 4 days, but haven't seen any activity. The compost is extremely dry, would misting it with a bit of water help?

Cheers, any ideas? :smile:

A picture would be helpful! If the compost hasn“t the right humidity the mycelium growth is expected to be very slow or the mycelium is just dying. Is there any condensed water visible?

None at all, the compost is bone-dry. Will try and post pics soon, but it's just incredibly dry compost.

Should I give it some water?

I would call the vendor and get a replacement.

it does't tell you to add water to the substrate?  sometimes the kits are freeze dried for longer shelf life.  Does the vendor have a website?  If so, they may have more detailed info.  Good luck.
