Oyster mushrooms are some of the most popular mushrooms in the world. Blue oyster mushrooms are not only delicious, with a mild flavor that resembles seafood, but also beautiful, with a shell-like appearance and stunning blue color in the early stages of life. Cooked blue oyster mushrooms have a chewy, meaty texture, which makes them an excellent option for a vegan protein meat substitute. Blue oyster mushrooms provide beneficial fiber, vitamin C, riboflavin, folate, thiamine, pantothenic acid, niacin, and various minerals.

With this Countertop Kit, blue oyster mushrooms are super easy and fun to grow. This self-contained, ready-to-fruit kit is highly rewarding because it’s highly productive. It usually begins fruiting within 2 to 3 weeks of arrival—with fruiting temperatures between 65° and 80°F—and typically produces 2 to 3 pounds over several flushes. This kit is fully colonized, inoculated with Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom culture, which is among the easiest species to cultivate. Just spray with water, harvest, and eat. It really is that simple.

In addition, the Blue Oyster Countertop Kit is environmentally friendly—made with compostable substrate and bio-degradable cardboard and plastic bags.

This item is available to ship May through September only. Please allow up to 2 weeks for your kit to be custom-made for you. Humidity tent and directions included.
