For optimal results with your King Trumpet Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit, maintain these growing conditions:

Temperature: Keep your grow environment between 60-82°F for best results. King Trumpet mushrooms prefer moderate temperatures, making them suitable for most home environments.
Light: Provide 10-12 hours of indirect light daily. Direct sunlight is not necessary and can dry out your substrate.
