My mushrooms look dark and dried out, what's going on?
•
Fruiting mushrooms typically requires a little bit of trial and error to ensure great results. If your mushrooms are
drying out, try increasing the humidity level and decreasing the fresh air. If that still doesn't work, check to make
sure no sunlight is hitting Mella during the day. This can warm up the chamber and cause drying.
My oyster mushrooms are long and spindly, what's going on?
•
Oyster mushrooms are notorious for growing long and spindly when they are starved for fresh air. Try fruiting
these mushrooms at higher humidity and at a higher fresh air level.
Why do Mella's lights keep flashing?
•
Mella's lights flash whenever there is an issue. Most of the time, it's because Mella is out of water and the tank
needs to be refilled.
•
If Mella's tank is filled and the lights are still flashing after 2 hours, contact mushroom@FirstBuild.com so we can
help resolve the issue.
