Large, Delicious Mushrooms You'll Love
Our King Trumpet Fruiting Blocks feature a strain that produces large flushes of meaty and delicious mushrooms that are earthy, aromatic, and savory. Raw king trumpets, though dense and spongy in texture, lack aroma and flavor. But when cooked, they come to life with a soft crunchy texture and a mild savory umami flavor reminiscent of abalone.
With the Organic King Trumpet Mushroom Grow Kit Fruiting Block, growing fresh mushrooms from home has never been easier!

Planting Directions
<h2>How to Grow Organic King Trumpet Mushrooms (Fruiting Block)</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Use a fruiting chamber:</strong> Place the block in a monotub or Martha tent to control humidity, airflow, and temperature. This helps prevent contamination and improves yield.</li> </ul> <h2>Preparing the Block</h2> <ul> <li>Unfold the top of the plastic bag to create air space above the block.</li> <li>Ensure the filter patch on the bag is unobstructed for gas exchange.</li> </ul> <h2>Initiating Fruiting</h2> <ul> <li>Make a 2–3” cut near the top of the bag, just under the top seam.</li> <li>Place the bag upright inside the fruiting chamber.</li> <li>Wait for pins (tiny mushroom starts) to form inside the bag.</li> <li><strong>If pins are slow to form:</strong> Place the block (still in the bag) in the refrigerator for 8 hours, then return to the fruiting chamber.</li> </ul> <h2>After Pinning</h2> <ul> <li>Once pinning starts, cut the top of the bag off completely, but leave about 4” of plastic sidewalls around the block.</li> <li>Place the open block back in the fruiting chamber to allow mushrooms to mature.</li> </ul> <h2>Environmental Conditions</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Humidity:</strong> Maintain 85–95% relative humidity. Mist chamber walls if needed.</li> <li><strong>Fresh air:</strong> Ensure regular airflow; stagnant CO₂ will inhibit growth.</li> <li><strong>Light:</strong> Provide indirect light or a 12-hour light/dark cycle.</li> <li><strong>Temperature:</strong> Aim for 60–70°F (15–21°C).</li> </ul> <p>Harvest mushrooms when caps are firm and just before they flatten or curl upward.</p>
FAQs
<h2>FAQs: Organic King Trumpet Mushroom Grow Kit Fruiting Block</h2> <ul> <li> <strong>1. How do I get started with this grow kit?</strong><br> Simply cut an “X” into the plastic where indicated, mist the exposed area with water 2–3 times daily, and keep it in a spot with indirect light and good airflow. Mushrooms usually start to form within 1–2 weeks. </li> <li> <strong>2. How many mushrooms will I get from one block?</strong><br> Each fruiting block can produce multiple flushes of mushrooms, with the first being the most abundant. On average, expect up to 1.5 lbs of mushrooms over the life of the block, depending on your growing conditions. </li> <li> <strong>3. Can I grow these indoors?</strong><br> Absolutely! These kits are designed for indoor use and thrive in kitchens, bathrooms, or other humid environments. No garden or outdoor space needed—just a little love and a spray bottle. </li> <li> <strong>4. Do I need to pollinate or fertilize anything?</strong><br> Nope. Mushrooms don’t rely on pollination like fruiting plants. The block comes fully colonized and ready to grow—just keep it moist and you're good to go. </li> <li> <strong>5. When and how do I harvest the mushrooms?</strong><br> Harvest when the caps are still firm and before they flatten out completely—usually 5–10 days after pinning. Twist gently at the base or cut with a clean knife. Bonus: the more you harvest, the better chance for another flush. </li> </ul>
