Youshould be able to “Force Fruit” your log every 2 – 3 Months with thesesoaking. The monthly soaking keeps the moisture content high which theMushroom Logs need to produce fruit! Let the logs rest after each fruitingfor 8 weeks. This resting period is for the mycelium to extract more nutrientsfrom the log for more mushrooms. Harvest Time!
