Day 90. Cold Storage for Reishi Fruiting Bags What about the fruiting bags? What can I do next? Toss them? Or is there a way to save them and continue bearing reishi mushrooms? After harvesting, I replaced all air filters on the bags and secured them with rubber bands. I can't just toss my bags after the first flush and decided to give my reishi a cold vacation. I put all fruiting blocks in the fridge (temperature around 40°F or 5°C) to store them for the next few weeks. This should slow down the mycelium, act as a cold shock, and (hopefully!) allow me to continue fruiting from the same bags later on. Can they bounce back after a fridge nap? Will they fruit again? We’ll see how this chill break experiment affects the Reishi ;)
