Soak: Submerge block in cold water for 3-4 hours (use a weight).
Drain: Ensure no standing water remains in the bag.
Flip: Tape up the old "X" and cut a fresh "X" on the opposite side.

Note: Keep the block inside the laminated jute bag and inner plastic liner. These create the perfect microclimate.

1

The "X" Cut

Using sterile scissors, cut a small "X" (3-4 cm) on the face of the block where you want mushrooms to grow. Gently pull the flaps slightly open.
2

Misting (The Key)

Mist the substrate surface (not the mushroom tissue!) 2-4 times daily. Aim for 4-5 light sprays. The goal is humidity, not wetness.
3

Harvest Window

Harvest when spines are visible but short. If they get long and droopy, it's over-ripe. Cut the whole cluster at the base.
