No frost to wait for — this one grows on indoor substrate, any day of the year you decide it's the day.
Stages
- White Button · 40 days · 2–6 lbs/plant — The white strain, picked young — also sold as Champignon (its French name). Mildest.
- Cremini · 45 days · 2–6 lbs/plant — The brown strain picked young — same mushroom sold as Baby Bella; firmer and earthier.
- Portobello · 55 days · 2–6 lbs/plant — The brown strain left to mature — the cap opens flat and meaty; just a grown-up cremini.
