Whether you’re a culinary enthusiast or just curious about fungi, this kit offers an engaging and educational approach to growing your own fresh mushrooms at home.
The Blue-Grey Oyster Mushroom, scientifically known as Pleurotus ostreatus, is celebrated for its rich, umami flavour and versatility in the kitchen. This variety is easy to grow and thrives in the provided heat-resistant grow bag, which is filled with a chopped wheat straw substrate to create the perfect environment for mushroom growth. The white liner included in the kit transforms the packaging into a microclimate, maintaining ideal humidity levels to support healthy and robust harvests. With detailed instructions and access to online resources, growing your mushrooms becomes an enjoyable and rewarding process.
Designed with beginners in mind, the kit is simple to use and can yield up to 1kg of mushrooms over four harvests, with the first ready in just 3-4 weeks. The flexible spawn options allow you to start your cultivation right away or redeem a spawn voucher at a later time, making this kit as convenient as it is fun. Ideal for growing in temperatures between 10-18°C, this kit ensures success, bringing the fresh and earthy taste of Blue-Grey Oyster Mushrooms directly to your table.
