1.2 Phase 2: Taking care and harvesting mushrooms

2. When is the right time to harvest Reishi mushrooms?

As mushrooms are mature, it is the right time to harvest Reishi mushroom.

The characteristics of mature Reishi mushrooms are:

  •   Mushroom ears are fully developed, there is no white border around the edge.
  •   The outer edge and the center of the mushroom cap have the same color.
  •   The surface of the mushroom ear appears a layer of brown spores, similar to a thin layer of dust as touch.
  •   Mushrooms have a mild, dark odor.

By this point, we can harvest the Reishi mushroom. Mushrooms should not be harvested young because medicinal values are not gained at a premature stage. Also, it should not take a long time to collect mushroom since after 5-7 days, there are new mushroom ears leading to longer harvesting time and affecting the quality of mushroom spawns.
