WATERINGTIPS FOR GROWING MUSHROOM
Watering mushrooms is different from watering other plants because mushrooms are fungi that grow from mycelium, a network of thread-like structures. Unlike plants, mushrooms do not have leaves or roots to absorb water. However, providing the right amount of moisture is necessary for their growth. Here are steps how to water mushrooms:
1. Understand the mushroom species: Different mushroom species have specific environmental requirements. It's essential to know the specific needs of the mushrooms you are growing. Some mushrooms prefer high humidity, while others require a drier environment.

2. Mist the growing area: Most mushrooms require high humidity levels to thrive. So it is necessary to create a humid environment by misting the growing area regularly. Use a spray bottle filled with clean, non-chlorinated water to lightly mist the air around the mushrooms.
