| Dec 5, 2017 at 7:23 | comment | added | Stephie♦ | @JoshCaswell I checked a few websites from companies that sell those kits (no link because they were in German) and those that gave instructions recommended twisting. I was also taught that in the wild cutting is correct, but a) recent articles I read suggest it doesn’t matter (but makes me cringe, I’ll keep cutting) and b) the boxes will be “spent” after a few harvests, so the risk of infections probably outweighs slightly damaging the mycelium. | |
