FAQs

How long will it take to see my first mushrooms?+

Absolutely! This kit is designed for simplicity. With a fully colonized block and straightforward instructions, it's one of the easiest ways to start your journey into mushroom growing.

Can I grow these mushrooms outdoors?+

Yes, Turkey Tail is very adaptable. You can place the block in a shady, protected spot outdoors. Its wide temperature tolerance makes it suitable for many climates.

What do I do after the first harvest?+

How do I use the Turkey Tail mushrooms I've grown?+

Turkey Tail is best used for its medicinal properties. You can dry the mushrooms and grind them into a powder for teas, tinctures, or to add to smoothies. They are not typically used for culinary purposes due to their tough texture.
