Chestnut (Pholiota Aurivella)
This is a Growers Block, which means it does not come with a water spray bottle and directions.

Fruiting temp: 60 – 70F
Humidity: 78 – 85%
Chestnut mushrooms are slightly more difficult to grow than pearl oyster mushrooms because they don’t always start fruiting where a hole has been cut. For this reason, some growers will wait to open the block until it starts to pin and then cut that spot open. Fruiting these mushrooms from the top of the block works well when they are in a fruiting chamber rather than growing on a countertop.
Chestnuts grow best in humid conditions, 80-90% humidity, with good fresh air exchange (FAE) to keep the carbon dioxide levels low.
** Guaranteed to grow or your money back! **
We always use UnicornTM bags filled with hardwood sawdust and soy hull substrate hydrated to 58%, all 100% sourced and made in the USA.
They can be grown in a fruiting chamber with most Oyster Mushrooms and Lions Mane.
