How much light does my grow kit need?

Mushrooms don't need much light. If you can see the kit, there's already enough.

A few rules:

  • No direct sunlight. It dries out the substrate and overheats the kit.
  • Indirect daylight or a low-wattage lamp nearby works fine.
  • Keep the kit away from windows where the sun hits directly.

Light helps the mushrooms know which direction to grow, but it's not what fuels their growth (that's the substrate).
