Growing Golden Teacher mushrooms do not require expertise. Someone planning to start planting needs to avail himself of a Golden Teacher mycelium kit that also contains the instructions on how to grow. Most kits would most likely have grow-bags with air holes and paper clips.

The mushroom kit is better preserved in a refrigerator that can keep it fresh for three to six months because it can lose its potency when it encounters hot temperatures.

To start growing, set up the propagation kit and have the plastic propagation installed. Fill the propagation container with water up to 3-4 centimeters, then place the substrate inside the propagator. Make sure that the plastic lid has some ventilation slots to keep humidity. Open the cover every day to let air inside.
