The speed of the mushroom's growth and thus the timing of the harvest also depend on if the first, the second, or the third cultivation cycle is underway from the specific Pod. In addition, other external factors such as temperature can also influence this.

To determine the best time for harvesting, it’s essential to understand your mushroom’s life cycle. You can find a detailed general life cycle guide, or browse through photos of all the mushrooms that we offer here:

Open the Shrooly app on your phone

Select your current cultivation program on the home screen of the app

Tap on the "Harvest Now" button to stop the cultivation program

Carefully remove the mushroom from the Pod by gently twisting it left and right while pulling. You can recycle the foil and compost the substrate for eco-friendly disposal.
