Plant description

Grow your own Yellow Oyster Mushrooms with our indoor, ready to grow kit. Our kits give you all you need to grow and harvest your own crop of Yellow Oyster Mushrooms within 14-21 days of opening. Perfect as gifts for non-green-fingered enthusiasts and cooks alike!

Your Yellow Oyster Mushroom Kit will need to be chilled in a fridge when you receive it, if you are not intending to grow straight away. Your kit will be fine out of the fridge for a day or two if gifting or while in transit.

Once you have grown your first flush of mushrooms, you can follow the instructions to attempt a second or even third flush. Expect to harvest at least 200-250g of fresh mushrooms over a few harvests. These are culinary mushrooms and have no known hallucinogenic properties.

For best results, your kit will need to be opened within 3 days of receipt. Alternatively, they can be stored in the fridge but must be used within one month. A full set of instructions can be found inside your kit bag. All paper and card can be recycled with your standard card recycling. The plastic bag can be cleaned and recycled with your soft plastic recycling. The outer bag and substate block can be composted or disposed of along with your normal food waste.

What's included:



Our complete mushroom kit contains everything required and is the perfect all-inclusive gift option: A fully colonised substrate block, full set of growing instruction and growing guidance, outer bag and label.
Approx. weight: 1kg
Dimensions: 11x12x22cm

Our large ‘no frills’ kit contains: Approx. 2.5kg of pre-inoculated specialist specialist substrate in a recyclable bag, each kit will grow approx. fresh mushrooms over 1-2 harvests. Your kit will need misting during its phase, so if you don't have one already, please check out our excellent misters.

How to care for Yellow oyster mushrooms:

When you receive your kit, keep it chilled (ideally around 5°C), and open within 3 days. Ideal growing temperature parameters are 17-22°C (62-72°F). Lower temperatures can lead to slower growth and higher temps can lead to the substrate and mushrooms drying out, if not sufficiently watered during the day and growing period - increase watering in warmer temperatures.

Open your kits following the instructions with clean scissors. Do not carve, dig or scratch into substrate surface, and do not remove or peel back the opening of the grow bag. This opening will allow enough air and water into the substrate to initiate fruiting.

Place your kit in a light position and out of direct sunlight (they don’t need to be grown in the dark). Mist the opening of your kit at least twice a day with water. You can expect to see the primordia of your mushrooms forming within 14 days. Continue to water your mushrooms once they begin to form and until you harvest them, give a light misting twice a day during the growing phase.

Harvest your mushrooms once the largest in the flush begin to flatten out at the edge of the mushroom and before they begin to dry out. Remove all mushrooms at once, the smaller mushrooms will not continue to grow once some have been harvested.

Buying vegetable plants

If you just want to grow a few vegetables or have suffered losses with early sowings, buying plants is a great way to play catch-up. Buying plants also allows you to grow vegetables if you do not have the facilities to raise them from seed yourself or whe
