WHAT'S INCLUDED
Grow these beautiful gourmet mushrooms at home with Little Acre's Blue Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit! It is easy! It is fun!
Everything you'll need is in the box, including:
- a step-by-step instruction card
- a spray bottle to mist your kit
- a pull-out recipe card to prepare a delish mushroom dish
- the ready-to-grow mushroom block (inoculated with Blue Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus))
Pop it on your kitchen bench and watch these beauties blossom right before your very eyes!
GROWING CONDITIONS
For best results, start your grow kit right away!
Time til harvest: Just 7-14 days!
Fruiting temperature: 10°C to 24°C
Blue Oysters like to chill out, man. They enjoy a cool climate and the cooler the temperature, the darker and richer their blue colour will be. Once they have matured, they turn a stunning pearlescent steel-grey colour. Sooo cool.
Harvests: Your first flush (flush = fancy fungi word for harvest) will produce enough gourmet mushrooms to cook a meal for 1-2 people. If you treat your kit right, you could enjoy a smaller second, third and maaaybe a fourth flush (if you are super lucky!).
Storage: If you need to store your mushroom kit pop it in the fridge. This will put it to sleep until you're ready to grow it or gift it!
SKILL LEVEL: EASY PEASY
Our grow kits are for everyone!
All you need to do is mist the kit a few times daily and voila!
