Grow a truly unique Black King Oyster mushroom right from your kitchen bench - this strain produces mushrooms with large thick stems and excellent texture similar to scallops.
Known as Black King Oyster or Black King Trumpet (Pleurotus Ostreatus hybrid), these striking dark charcoal mushrooms offer a robust, umami-rich flavour with subtle peppery notes that can erupt in dense, meaty clusters making them ideal for grilling, searing, or using as a meat substitute in soups and stir-fries.
Simply cut the X marked on the bag as per provided instructions and let them grow. Handcrafted in North Canterbury using sustainable, locally sourced substrates, our 2kg kit is ideal for beginners, gourmet cooks, and eco-enthusiasts. With perfect growing conditions you can get up to 800g of edible mushrooms on the first flush off our 2kg grow kit.
Key Growing Conditions
- Temperature: Fruiting thrives at 10-20°C, making it suitable for cooler growing conditions where other oysters might struggle.
- Light: Indirect sunlight / reading level light. Avoid direct sun.
