Certain species of mushrooms, like oyster mushrooms, can exhibit remarkably rapid growth, often developing from spores to mature fruiting bodies in just a few days under optimal conditions.
In fact, The American Mushroom Institute reports they can double in size within a 24-hour period!
This accelerated growth is typically due to a combination of high humidity, ideal temperatures, and nutrient-rich substrates, making these mushrooms ideal for commercial cultivation and sustainable biomass production.
