Reishi Instructions

3. Unravel the plastic so the block is sitting on the “ground” with air space above it.

4. Use tape to cover the hole at top of bag used for shipping.

5. Leave some air in the bag — do not completely deflate it.

6. Place in a warm location out of and wait for harvest.

Harvesting Reishi Mushroom Machine

Wait until the opportune time to harvest the mushrooms. This is ideally before the veil of the cap breaks, and releases dark purple spores. If this short time-frame window is missed, the mushrooms are still safe to consume.

The Mushroom Machine can be a multiple flush grow bag. The quickest, easiest way to harvest Reishi is to pluck by hand. Pinch the base and turn rotate and pull up. You can try and use scissors but it's very hard. The easiest way is to use your hands. 

After harvesting from the Mushroom Machine, simply drape the top of the bag back over the substrate, wait another 28-42 days, and just harvest again.

If extra care is taken after the first harvest. By misting once or twice a day, the chances of getting third or fourth flushes is very likely.
