Informative: Grey oyster mushrooms are the easiest to grow!

If you want to become a mushroom grower, we offer the opportunity to grow your own mushrooms at home by purchasing an oyster mushroom or lion's mane mushroom growing kit. To become a successful mushroom grower and ensure a rich harvest, it is important to prepare and create suitable growing conditions for mushrooms. The mushroom kit weighs almost 3 kilograms and its height is 270 mm, which allows you to grow a significant amount of mushrooms even at home.

Once the mushrooms have started to grow, they will also grow at warmer temperatures, but will be of poorer quality and yellow, dried out/shriveled.

Grow your own mushrooms

Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are easy to grow at home using a special growing kit. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to grow oyster mushrooms:

1. Preparing the kit:

  • Choose a location: Place the kit in a location with good humidity and moderate temperature. Temperatures vary for different types of mushrooms. Avoid direct sunlight.

  • Check the substrate: Open the package and check that the substrate is moist and compact. If it seems too dry, you can moisten it a little with water.

2. Starting cultivation:

  • Create ventilation holes: Use a sharp knife to make a few small holes in the kit packaging to allow for ventilation. The holes can be made in several places.

  • Humidification: Lightly mist the surface and openings of the kit with water every day. This will help maintain the high humidity levels needed for mushroom growth.

3. The appearance of the first mushrooms:

  • Watch carefully: After a few days to a week, you will start to notice small mushrooms starting to grow from the openings.

  • Maintain Humidity: Continue daily humidification to encourage mushroom growth. If the room is particularly dry, you can use a plastic bag or tent to create a mini greenhouse effect around the kit.

4. Harvesting:

  • Time to harvest: When the mushrooms have grown to full size, usually after 1-2 weeks, they are ready to be harvested. The mushrooms should be picked carefully, gently twisting and pulling them out of the substrate.

  • Additional harvests: Continue to hydrate the set after the first harvest. Typically 2-3 additional harvests are possible with a few days to a week between each harvest.

5. Kit maintenance:

  • Rest Period: After each harvest, the kit may need a few days of rest before the next harvest. Continue to hydrate it regularly and keep it in a favorable environment.

  • Use of the kit: When the kit is no longer producing, you can use the substrate as fertilizer in the garden or in compost.

By following these instructions, you will be able to enjoy a fresh harvest of grey oyster mushrooms right in your own home!
