Leave to stand for a further 30 minutes. After soaking, the drained substrate block should weigh 900–1000g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the substrate block from the transport bag, pour the water out of the bag, dry the bag and keep it for later use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen the growing bag, let in some light, place the base on the floor and lay the drained substrate block horizontally on the base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeal the bag with the clip and leave it in a place where there is daylight but no direct sunlight. Ideal temperature: 17°C to 23°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs soon as the mushrooms start to grow (either straight away or within about 5 days), open the cultivation bag once a day, squeeze the air out and let fresh air in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is best to cut off only the largest mushrooms with a knife close to the stem, leaving the smaller ones to grow. To do this, open the bag and remove the substrate block from the bag by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce all the mushrooms have been harvested, remove the substrate block from the growing bag, wash out the growing bag and reuse it for the next block. Rinse the substrate block under running water, place it in the transport bag, seal the bag with adhesive tape and put it in the fridge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor 5 days, take the substrate block out of the bag every day, rinse it under running water, let it drain and put it back in the bag.
