Blue Oyster Mushroom Kit
Grow pretty, silvery mild-flavored mushrooms with a smooth and chewy texture.
Blue oysters are mild-flavored mushrooms with a wonderful, slightly chewy, smooth consistency when cooked. Silvery in appearance, they grow easily indoors and are ready to harvest within 10 days of starting to care for them. Keep the kit tended for up to three months and you can expect an additional one to three flushes of mushrooms.
Mushroom kits must be opened and started soon after receipt, so be sure to order when you or the recipient will be both available to receive the shipment and poised to get started with the kit quickly.

Directions from our friends at Sugarshack Mushrooms
1. Inside this box is a sawdust block that has been completely myceliated and is ready to produce mushrooms. Open the front of your kit along the perforated line.
2. Slice an "X" into the plastic with a sharp knife. Mushrooms grow when they sense oxygen, so your mushrooms will gruit out of this opening.
3. Use a spray bottle to spray the opening you made on the block generously twice a day with water. Mushrooms love moisture, it's almost impossible to overater them. Watch for baby mushroom "pins" to appear within a few days.
4. Mushrooms grow quickly! Once you see the baby mushroom pins emerging be prepared to harvest your mushroom within a few more days.
5. Harvest your mushrooms when the caps flatten out and become soggy or soft.
6. This mushroom kit is capable of growing approximately 2lbs of mushrooms, over the course of 3 months from the time you open it. You can expect 2-4 flushe of mushrooms to grow. Each harvest will get progressively smaller as the mushrooms use up the nutrients provided inside the kit.
