What is an urbanhive mushroom block?
An urbanhive mushroom block is a pre-prepared substrate block that is already completely colonized by mushroom mycelium. The mycelium contains all the nutrients the mushroom needs to grow.
For you, this means:
- unpack
- activate
- keep moist
- harvest
That's all it takes to grow your own mushrooms.

How easy it is to grow mushrooms
Add water
Fill an empty plant box with 400 ml of water.
Insert and activate
Place the mushroom block in the plant box and make 5 small X-shaped cuts in the top, distributed over the bag. Attention: do not remove the entire film.
Humidity & Location
The room temperature should be 18–23 °C. Spray the surroundings 1–2 times daily with water (do not spray directly onto the gourmet mushrooms).
The first mushrooms will appear after a few days.
Harvest & Enjoy
When are the mushrooms ready to harvest?
Your mushrooms are ready to harvest when the caps are well-developed but still slightly curved. The edges begin to gently curl upwards, and the gills are clearly visible. At this point, the mushrooms have their best flavor and ideal texture. It's better to harvest them a little earlier than too late.
Harvest time: usually after 7–14 days
Harvest: Gently twist the gourmet mushrooms directly off the substrate
Tip: harvest a little earlier – for best taste & texture
With good care, several harvest waves are often possible.
