- 1). Place the maitake mushroom spawn in a wooden log or among wood chips and sawdust in a container or in the ground.
- 2). Cover the spawn with soil that, ideally, has a pH of 5.5 to 6.0 to provide nutrients and support to the mushrooms.
- 3). Ensure the temperature is kept around 59 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 4). Keep the moisture level at about the 90 percent level, but no higher, as it could cause the maitake mushroom to rot. Monitor the humidity levels daily. Take action to shield the mushrooms from too much moisture, if it gets to 95 percent or higher.
