Health benefits of oyster mushrooms

Oyster mushrooms are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as B-complex and vitamin D, along with minerals like iron and potassium. Oyster mushrooms contain antioxidants and beta-glucans, which can enhance immune function and reduce inflammation. Additionally, they have been shown to support heart health by lowering cholesterol levels.

Make a mushroom patch

When you're done with your grow kit, you can start your own outdoor mushroom patch by removing the straw and burying it in your yard with a layer of cardboard and some wood chips. Pick a shady spot under a tree and give it plenty of water.

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.

  • pink oyster mushroom grow kit

    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!

  • yellow oyster mushroom

    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.

Fun for the Entire family!

We purchased this kit a few weeks ago and I wanted to wait until we had mushrooms before reviewing.

This was a wonderful, interactive experience for our entire family. My 6yr old was especially involved in the whole process (the 3yr old tried to help).

The kit has everything you need and easy-to-follow directions for curious kids and adults to learn about cultivating mushrooms. My sons got to watch mushrooms grow over just a few days, right in our living room!

The coloring box is also a nice touch for kids to get creative while they wait.

Overall, this was a great experience and the oyster mushrooms we grew made for a delicious addition to dinner. Will be ordering again!
