WARNINGS:
INSTRUCTIONS
It is preferable NOT to spray the surface of the cake directly unless the surface is losing
moisture. To determine if it is necessary to mist the surface, we recommend using the
torch of your mobile phone and illuminate the surface, if small droplets are observed, it will
not be necessary to moisten. You should only mist the surface if you observe at some point
that the surface lacks droplets, Never more than once a day, otherwise you could damage
your cultivation. To do so, we recommend taking the cake out of the bag, and do it from at
least one metre away from the bag. Never aiming directly at the cake. The water should fall
by gravity, as it should fall on the surface,gently, small droplets diffused, simulating the
small drops that are created on those foggy days in autumn. 6 seconds will be
sufficient",Then illuminate the surface again to check that the droplets are present, this
way, you will learn how to maintain the correct humidity level of your kit!
Please note that this is not a mathematical process. To get the most out of our kits, it is
best to know if the surface has too little or too much moisture. If you notice that the
surface is accumulating too much moisture, unzip the bag further. These mushrooms like
oxygen, but as we have described only just as much moisture as necessary.
The following fructification methodprovides higher levels of aeration and humidity, so the
kit maintenance is reduced to doing nothing (or almost nothing).
It requires a plastic storage box, (we offer the perfect box). The box does not have to be
much bigger than the cakle, nor does it have to fit snugly. The box should be transparent.
1. Pour tap water into the plastic box up to 2 cm
2. Remove the cake lid and save it for later)
3. Open the topping sachet and spread it evenly over the surface of the cake, this
provides a perfect surface for the primordiums growth
4. Place the cake in the plastic box with the same amount of water. Then put the lid on
the plastic box. If the lid comes with latches, just don't use them. Just put the lid on top,
without sealing it. if the surface becomes too moist, turn the lid upside down and leave
an opening of 1-2cm between the box and the lid to allow the excess moisture to
evaporate.
5. Once the first mushrooms emerge, turn the lid of the box upside down and slide it to
let more air in. If too much moisture accumulates on the surface, leave an opening of
at least one finger between the lid and the box, or an even larger opening if moisture
still accumulates.
6. It is not necessary to spray the walls of the plastic box at any time
7. Refer to the section "how to maintain the surface moisture of the cake", to determine
when to spray the surface. However, it is very likely that this will not be necessary using
this cultivation method.
8. To harvest the mushrooms, follow instructions described in section 9 above. Once the
mushrooms have been harvested, remove the cake from the box and pour tap water
directly over it until it is completely soaked.
9. Keep the bread covered andleave it to soak for 20 minutes, never in the fridge. Then,
drain all the water well, put the cake back in the bag and repeat all the above steps for
successive fructifications.
