White button mushrooms are one of the most popular varieties, producing firm, rounded, bright white mushrooms packed with flavour – the perfect addition to pizzas, risottos, stews and much more for a fraction of the cost of buying them in the supermarket.

How to Grow

1. Take the bag containing ‘cover compost’ from the base tray and store it in a cool place.

2. Place the base tray with the plastic lid on top at a temperature of 20–25°C for 4 or more days. After this period, the substrate will have turned completely white with fungus (mycelium).

3. Take the bag with ‘cover compost’ and punch ten holes in each side. Put the bag in 0.5 litres of water for 20 minutes. Open the bag and spread the ‘cover compost’ evenly and loosely over the substrate within the tray.

4. Now put the entire tray aside with the lid closed for 5–8 days, at a temperature of 20–25°C. In this period, the mycelium will grow through the layer of cover compost to the surface. Once the cover compost is covered with white mycelium, put the tray in a cooler position of 15–18°C.

5. Make sure that the surface of the cover compost does not dry out. Regularly mist spraying with a plant spray will keep it damp.

6. If a good number of baby mushrooms appear, you can water over the tray with a watering can. The substrate and cover compost should be moist, but not too wet. The mushrooms first appear at the edges, and then later in the centre of the tray.

More Info

Harvesting: Take a mushroom between your fingertips and carefully pull it out with a twist of the hand. Do not pull out without twisting and do not harvest undersized mushrooms. Always water regularly to prevent the ‘cover compost’ from drying out.
