WHAT'S INCLUDED
Grow your very own gourmet mushrooms at home with Little Acre's Chocolate Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit! It’s easy! It’s 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 Chocolate Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus))
Pop it on your kitchen bench and watch these tasty mushroom morsels appear right before your very eyes!
GROWING CONDITIONS
For best results, start your grow kit right away!
Time til harvest: 14 - 21 days
Fruiting temperature: 10°C to 24°C
This variety likes to chill out in cooler climates. If growing in air conditioned rooms, increase the frequency of your misting to maintain high humidity.
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!

TASTES LIKE
Our Chocolate Oyster strain has quickly become the most popular oyster mushroom to grow for chefs and mushroom farmers alike. It's got a lovely umami flavour and a softer texture when cooked - less bite than some of the other oyster varieties. Plus, it's chocolate coloured! YUM.
Check your Grow Kit box for our classic mushroom risotto recipe, enhanced with extra mushroomy goodness from our fancy medley of Little Acre-grown and dried mushrooms.

Incredible
"Incredible! So easy and it has exploded with mushrooms in under a week! I'm so impressed and can't wait to try another variety. Also, the kit was delivered a day after I placed my order. 10/10!"
Elizabeth
Simple to set up
"Bought a couple of grow kits - pink and white oyster mushrooms. Really easy instructions and simple to set up - harvested two big yields of mushrooms after just a dozen or so days. Straight into a stir fry dinner. 👍"
Djaryd
Exactly as advertised
"It’s exactly as advertised and instructions were simple to under that my 10 year old son understood and loved watching the whole growth process. He got us two batches of oysters! Will be buying again for sure!
