Grow Bag Instructions

Description

Wood Ear (Auricularia cornea) mushrooms are brown fungi which looks like small, crinkled ears and grow on deciduous trees in nature. They have a mild and earthy flavor which soaks up flavors and is a great addition to soups and stews. This unique looking mushroom is full of B-complex vitamins and polysaccharides that improve heart function.

Instructions

1.) Place grow bag on a table or shelf inside at room temperature (60 – 72F) with medium, indirect sunlight.

2.) Watch the white mycelium colonize throughout the bag.

3.) When mycelium colonizes the bag, make multiple 2-3” horizontal cuts into the block

4.) Spray these cuts 2-3 times per day

5.) Fruit formation can take quite a while

You can attempt a second fruiting by withholding water mist for 7 days. Soak the block in cold water for 20 minutes and then pour out excess water from the bag, then start misting 2-3 times a day.
