The great thing about growing mushrooms is that you can do it indoor or outdoor no matter where you live! 1) Pasteurise the substrate to remove competing organisms 2) Thoroughly mix the spawn to ensure quick growth 3) Cut grow holes which also allow oxygen for growth 4) Incubate at 23degrees to allow the mycelium to gather nutrients 5) Move to fruiting by providing the correct conditions to trigger growth 6) choose the right moment to harvest and then enjoy your mushrooms
