Mushrooms grown with our kits are also up to 2x cheaper than similar mushrooms bought at the grocery store (and 100x fresher!)

  • Taste 😋

    Blue oyster mushrooms have a unique spongy and chewy texture. When raw, they give off a coastal aroma with hints of anise and a subtle metallic flavor. Cooking them transforms their texture into a velvety tenderness, revealing a mild, earthy, and savory taste with delicate notes of licorice.

  • Origin 🌎

    Blue Oysters originate from Europe. They began commercial cultivation in Germany during the 1940s, and were widely produced during World War I.

  • Difficulty 🏋️‍♀️

    Beginners – High Yielding, fast Grower and easy to fruit.

  • Cooking 🧑‍🍳

    Suitable for any dish you would consider using mushrooms in including stir fries, pastas, curries, pies and pizzas. A characteristic of this mushroom is while cooking it doesn’t release much liquid like Bottom mushrooms, becoming a meaty, quite filling final ingredient. Ideal for pizzas, one will not need to stir fry this mushroom before topping a pizza as it doesn’t release much liquid.

  • Characteristics ✨

    Medium to large-cap oyster mushroom, with a dark basalt top colour.

  • Temperature Range 🌡️

    Blue Oysters will fruit in a 10-26°c temperature range (Best 16-24°c )

How to Fruit your Mini Farm

4. Spray with water 2x per day, mushrooms will start to appear in under 2 weeks!

FAQ

No, most gourmet mushies like darkness half of the day, and dim light the other half of the day. Just like if they were growing under a tree canopy. As long as they are away from direct sunlight they will thrive!

Inside your kit box is a living organism, we recommend opening it upon purchase.

If you’re not ready to use it, keep your Mini Farm in the fridge for up to 6 weeks.

All of the strains we sell are vigorous, so after storing for a few weeks they may start fruiting inside the box! Strains like Lion’s Mane and Pink oysters are known for premature pinning (they sometimes start fruiting before the box is opened.)
Do not put Pink Oysters & Yellow Oysters in the fridge. Being a tropical strain, it doesn’t like the cold “brrrr” 🥶🥶

Anywhere away from direct sunlight, such as a kitchen counter or an office room.

Look for a cooler corner in your house, it’s always better to be on the cooler side than the warmer side of the recommended temperature range. 

We recommend growing inside as temperatures and humidity don’t fluctuate as much.

We guarantee at least one crop of mushrooms when following our  instructions. But it’s likely you’ll get a second, third and even fourth crop with care and patience.

In terms of yields, expect about 200g to 300g on your first crop of Oysters (remember, mushrooms are light so volume is high). 

Following flushes are likely to be smaller and smaller until the block runs out of energy.

To harvest, reach your hand between the mushroom cluster and the box, twist and pull just enough to break the cluster off the block. You can also cut them off carefully with a sharp knife.

You might have a few baby mushrooms left on the box, remove them all before you start spraying again for a another crop.
