Oyster Mushroom Varieties
-
The Blue Oyster
The blue oyster is the most robust and has the largest fruits. It's a very forgiving strain, making it great for beginners as well as experienced growers! The fruits start out brilliantly blue and turn gray as they mature. They grow best in cooler temperatures and can handle drier environments. If you're looking for a full-proof grow with large fruits then this is the way to go.

The Pink Oyster
Pink oysters are strikingly beautiful and produce flower-like bouquets of overlapping fruits. They are stunningly pink when they're young, but start to whiten with age. Out of the three strains, these will most likely give you 2-3 flushes if the conditions are right. However, they prefer warmer temperatures and slightly higher humidity. A great choice for the summer months!
-
The Golden (Yellow) Oyster
Golden or yellow oysters will produce a higher number of fruits that are smaller than the other strains. They fruit sporadically from wherever they choose, and rarely fruit from all 4 holes at the same time. They are the most finicky of the three and require more patience. The mushrooms are delicate and have a shorter shelf-life so it's best to eat them 1-2 days after you harvest. This strain does well year-round.
Customer Reviews
I received this grow kit as a birthday gift and I loved it! I can't wait to try the pink and blue.
I used this grow kit to make a timelapse with my daughter. We had so much fun and it came out perfect!
This was a very easy grow kit and the mushrooms were delicious. There's such a big difference between eating fresh oysters compared to the ones I buy from the grocery store. I gave it 4 stars because it only grew from one hole, but it was a HUGE cluster. I'm hoping for a nice second flush too.
Really enjoyed this grow kit. The design is so cool and It was so easy I didn't have to do anything. I got the yellow oysters because I can't find them anywhere and they grew beautifully!
