The home mushroom kit that I purchased six months ago has fully colonized! The instructions say to keep the plastic wrap on until it turns completely white (which means the mycelium has completely covered the substrate).

The plastic wrap is now off! I’m keeping the moisture around the fungus high by having water in the bottom of a terrarium. The kit is on an upturned bowl to keep it out of the water.

I’m hoping to see the fruiting bodies emerge soon, but really I have no idea how long it takes. I’ll keep you updated.
