Hey DirtMagicians! Today Bri is going to share a lesson about growing mushrooms that she learned the hard way.
Everything was going great until one day her mushrooms suddenly turned brown and crunchy. This was because she had made tow mistakes; which was directly spraying the mushrooms once they had formed and not using the humidity tent bag given to her. This led to bacterial blotch and basically stopped their growth.
To prevent this from happening, it’s important to remember that once mushrooms have formed, you should switch from spraying the substrate to spraying just inside the humidity bag itself and NOT the mushrooms. AND don’t forget the importance of the humidity tent (aka plastic bag with holes)
Growing mushrooms can be a rewarding experience (not to mention you’ll get to learn all about the mushroom growth process). Just make sure you avoid the same mistake I made! We at DirtMagicians believe that sharing your failures provides just as much learning as your successes.
Whats something in your garden you failed at but learned from, let us know in the comments?
