2. The Challenges of Growing Morels

Growing morels can be tricky because they require precise environmental conditions to thrive:

• Temperature-sensitive: Morels need a cool, controlled environment.
• Moisture-dependent: They require consistent, high humidity without becoming overly wet.
• Special Substrate Needs: Morels grow best in a nutrient-rich medium like hardwood ash, soil, or sawdust blends.

While traditional methods demand trial and error, the FungiSmile Smart Box simplifies the process with its advanced automation.

3. How to Grow Morel Mushrooms with the FungiSmile Smart Box

Step 1: Prepare Your Growing Kit

Morels need a proper growing medium, which you can purchase as a pre-made kit or prepare yourself using:

• Hardwood ash or a sawdust-soil mix.
• Spawn or spores designed for Morel cultivation.

Step 2: Set Up the FungiSmile Smart Box

The FungiSmile Smart Box automates the critical aspects of Morel cultivation:

• Add water to the humidifier to maintain 90-95% humidity.
• Set the temperature to 55-65°F (13-18°C), which is ideal for Morels.

Step 3: Introduce Your Spawn

• Place the prepared substrate and spawn into the Smart Box.
• Ensure the substrate remains moist but not overly saturated.

Step 4: Monitor and Wait

Morels take time to fruit, often requiring several weeks. Thankfully, the FungiSmile Smart Box maintains perfect growing conditions, so you don’t have to worry about frequent adjustments.

Step 5: Harvest

Once the mushrooms emerge and reach a height of 2-4 inches, gently harvest them. Be careful not to damage the substrate, as Morels can regrow in cycles.
