The Ultimate Guide to Growing Mushrooms at Home

Growing mushrooms at home can be a fun and rewarding experience if you follow the right steps. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cultivator, having the proper supplies and maintaining the right conditions will help you achieve a successful harvest.

Choose the Right Substrate – The substrate is the growing medium that provides the necessary nutrients for mushroom growth. CVG (Coconut Coir, Vermiculite, Gypsum) is ideal for most mushrooms, including oyster, lion’s mane, and shiitake, as it retains moisture and resists contamination. Hardwood sawdust is another great option, especially for medicinal mushrooms like reishi and shiitake, as it mimics their natural environment.

Maintain Ideal Conditions – Mushrooms require specific environmental conditions to thrive. Keep humidity levels between 70-85%, depending on the species, and maintain a temperature range of 20-24°C for optimal growth. Provide indirect light and proper air circulation to encourage fruiting and prevent contamination.
