Description

• Fleshy medium/large sized mushroom.
• Dark grey coloured mushroom, that lightens mildly when temperatures rise.
• Very productive.

Growing Characteristics

• Quick incubation.
• It yields a crop in approximately 16–18 days, depending on the temperature and the kind of compost.

Recommendations

• Temperature should not be allowed to rise for long periods over 30ºC during the INCUBATION period.
• Sudden temperature changes should be avoided during the incubation period to prevent condensation in the substrate, that can cause bacteria problems.
• Once the incubation period is ended, the temperature should be lowered slowly.
• When PINHEADS start to be visible through the packs’ holes, ventilation intensity can be raised.
• It develops easily in room temperatures between 15 and 19ºC.
• During the GROWING PERIOD, relative air humidity should be kept between 80 and 84%.
• CO2 levels should be kept as low as possible, maintaining the rest of the parameters.
• Fruiting bodies should be harvested once the mushroom’s edge is straight and before it starts to break.
• A mild and constant ventilation should be provided.

Destination

It is a very good quality mushroom for selling on a tray, or in bulk.
