Sit around and wait for a while (probably best to get something else in for dinner for the next few weeks), and then reap (quite literally) the fruits of your labour. Growing gourmet mushrooms is surprisingly easy and really good fun, as once they’ve started pinning they increase in size incredibly quickly; you can watch them virtually double in size overnight. It’s a really good way to get kids into a more “earthy” kind of hobby, as the rapid changes keep their interest sustained. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the hardwood substrate (and the bran supplement) itself provides a nutrient source to the mycelium, we can up the size of the bag without compromising the fruiting capacity. This means that the process will take slightly longer as there’s more work for the mycelium to do before fruiting, but the payoff is more mushrooms, so we’ll let you work out what suits you best.
