The caps should still be slightly convex and not fully flattened. Harvest promptly for peak freshness and flavor. Gently twist and pull clusters from the base, or cut cleanly with a knife. Handle carefully, as Cinnamon Caps are more delicate than oyster mushrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to store and cook Cinnamon Caps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore freshly harvested Cinnamon Cap mushrooms in a paper bag in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 days. For the best experience, harvest only what you plan to cook soon. Cook gently over medium to low heat. Saute briefly in butter or olive oil until just tender. Season lightly with salt, herbs, or a splash of white wine. Cinnamon Caps are exceptional in pasta, risotto, light stir-fries, omelets, or simply served on toast. Avoid overcooking, which diminishes their subtle sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePreparing Cinnamon Caps for a second flush\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter harvesting, remove any remaining mushroom material from the surface of the block. Re-soak the block in cold, clean water for 12 to 24 hours to fully rehydrate. Drain thoroughly and return to your \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mushroom-grow-kit\"\u003eLykyn Grow Chamber\u003c\/a\u003e. Select \"Cinnamon Cap\" again in the app to begin the next flush. Most blocks produce 2 to 3 flushes with proper care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to grow Cinnamon Cap mushrooms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Lykyn smart chamber, expect 7 to 14 days from slicing the bag to first harvest. The block then rests a few days before re-soaking and starting the next flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many flushes do you get from a Cinnamon Cap block?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 5 lb fully colonized block typically produces 2 to 3 flushes at about 0.75 to 1 lb fresh each. Yield drops with each flush as the block consumes its substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do Cinnamon Cap mushrooms taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCinnamon Caps have a subtle, nutty flavor with mild sweetness and a warm aroma reminiscent of cinnamon (despite containing none). The texture is tender and silky, similar to Nameko, and they shine in pasta, risotto, omelets, and stir-fries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow Cinnamon Caps without the chamber?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the block can fruit in any high-humidity environment (85 to 92% RH at 50 to 64°F \/ 10 to 18°C). However, it needs daily misting and has a higher contamination risk.
