Ordered yellow oyster mushroom growing kit from Saxtorps Svamp in Skåne. Took it out of the cardboard box and placed on dampened Vermiculite in a perforated plastic box and covered with cling film. Kept it damp by spraying/misting with water occasionally. Kept airflow (to remove built-up CO2 and replace with fresh oxygen-rich air) by occasionally fanning from the sides and top.

It took a while for the mushrooms to pin (i.e. appear), but then it went superfast. In a matter of days they were ready to harvest.

I did not grow a second batch from the same block, it seemed like the substrate was used up already.
