Here are some basic care tips to get you started. Additional supplies: A plant mister or spay bottle. Make sure the bottle is clean and free of residues. If you only have chlorinated water available, you can boil for 15 minutes, then cool the water before using in your mister bottle. Alternately, you can leave the water out for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate. Find a suitable place to park your mushroom kit. Your kit will need humidity and the right temperature for it's species in order to fruit/yield your mushrooms. Keep your kit away from heat/cooling vents, air conditioning units and direct sunlight. As the mushrooms grow, the kit will need to be misted daily, so you want the area to be waterproofed. You can set the kit on a plate to help contain the moisture. I love setting them on the kitchen counter near my sink. Misting usually won't harm the area, plus it's easy to pour off any excess water that may build in the bottom of the kit. Usually you have enough bright, but indirect light and it's a nice place devoid of bugs and flies.
