If you’re after mushrooms that are both impressive and simple to grow, the Blue Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit is your ticket. It’s made to take the guesswork out of mycology so you can have fun, learn something new, and enjoy homegrown mushrooms without the stress.
Blue Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are popular for good reason. They’ve got a mild, earthy flavour and a texture that cooks up beautifully in stir-fries, risottos, soups or even simply sautéed in butter. When they’re young, the caps have a lovely blue-grey hue that lightens as they mature — visually satisfying and tasty too.
The kit arrives ready-to-fruit, which means you don’t need to do any inoculation or long waiting around for colonisation. Just open the front panel of the box, cut a little “X” in the side of the block so the mushrooms have a place to emerge, then mist once or twice a day to maintain humidity. With good care, you’ll start seeing mushrooms to harvest in about two weeks. The block can keep yielding mushrooms over several flushes, so you get more value for your effort.
You can expect yields of around 700 grams or more of fresh Blue Oyster mushrooms from the 2 kg block, depending on your setup and how well you maintain conditions (temperature, humidity, airflow). The space required is minimal so this is perfect for kitchens, small flats, or even a balcony.
You’ll find a full online guide to walk you through each step from start to finish. We also offer a lifetime guarantee — if something goes wrong under normal use, we’ll sort you out. Store the kit in the fridge if you’re not ready to use it right away; it’ll stay good for at least three months.
