Flavour/ Cooking Suggestions:

Fluted and graceful, Oyster mushrooms range in color from light gray to medium brown. Oyster mushrooms have a delicate, mild flavor and velvety texture.

Growing Instructions:

A location that is between the temperatures of 55 and 65 is optimal for growth. When you receive your Oyster Mushroom grow kit, locate the date of inoculation on the filter patch. After 20 days have expired from the inoculation date, open the top of the bag. Place the kit inside the humidity tent, mist generously, and loosely secure the top with a clothespin. Continue to mist the block twice daily, and within a week you should begin to see the first stages of mushroom formation (primordia). The mushrooms will reach maturity within 3 to 5 days. Once the cap's edges have begun to flatten the mushrooms may be harvested. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut them at the very base. After 10 days you may restart the misting cycle. You should typically achieve 3 or more flushes (fruiting cycles) this way (yields should total up to 3 lbs.).
