Ready to Fruit Oyster Mushroom Grow Kits - growing gourmet mushrooms at home has never been easier!
Our grow kits are fast growing, easy to care for and high yielding! Handmade in Wiltshire, UK, following organic principles.
Blue/Grey, Pearl & Pink Oyster Mushroom varieties available.
Simply spray the grow kit with the mister provided and harvest around 1kg of mushrooms over 3 flushes.
Our grow kits use a high yielding substrate mix (wood and soya hulls) and weigh ~2kg. This ensures you get the maximum amount of mushrooms from your grow kit.
Store in a cold, dark place until activated. For best results, start within 4 weeks.
Expect your first harvest within 2 weeks of starting the kit!
Frequently Asked Questions
-
For optimum mushroom yields, it is best to start the kit when you receive it. If you don’t want to start the kit immediately, they can be stored in the fridge or a cold shed. We have grown kits that were stored in the fridge for 4 months with no issues.
Pink oyster kits can NOT be stored in the fridge as its too cold for them! Store pink oysters ~10C, if not starting immediately
-
The Oyster mushroom kits will take around 2 weeks to produce the first flush of mushrooms. This can vary depending on the temperature, humidity and which variety of Oyster mushroom grow kit.
The 2nd and 3rd flushes will take a bit longer, so a bit of patience is needed!
-
Our grow kits normally last for about 2-3 harvests, although we have heard feedback of a 4th harvest!
-
Ideally you would spray the mushroom grow kit twice a day (4-5 squeezes on the spray bottle each time) but there are bound to be some days where this isn’t possible. We have tested lots of the kits in our home and sometimes forget or are away for a night or two – as long as you keep spraying consistently mushrooms will grow! Yields may be reduced if the mushrooms don’t get adequate moisture but you should still get mushrooms.
-
Oyster mushrooms are ready to harvest when their caps begin to flatten - this happens around a week after the baby mushrooms first appear.
-
When the kits is finished, recycle the cardboard, throw away the grow bag and use the mushroom substrate material as a top layer on soil. The substrate helps improves soils and can be used on indoor potted plants or outdoors. Crumble the mushroom substrate on top of soil. It is likely more mushrooms will grow from this in the future.
