1: Choose a culture kit or prepare a substrate
You can buy a ready-to-use kit or prepare your own compost and manure substrate.

Use a plastic case, a wooden box, or even a storage bin. Make sure there are holes for air circulation.

Paris mushrooms like humidity. Spray water regularly to keep the substrate moist, but avoid soaking it.

Place your container in a dark place with a temperature between 15 and 20°C, such as a cellar, closet, or under the sink.
5: Wait and harvest
Within a few weeks, your mushrooms will start growing. Collect them as soon as they reach the desired size by twisting them gently to avoid damaging others.
