Grow your own fresh, nutrient-dense Blue Oyster mushrooms at home with our easy-to-use DIY 5-Step Grow Kit.
 
Whether you're introducing kids to the wonders of mycology or you want to add gourmet mushrooms (not typically found in stores) to your meals, this kit makes it fun and straightforward.
 
Known as Blue Oyster or Tree Oyster (Pleurotus Ostreatus), these striking blue-grey mushrooms offer a mild, sweet and earthy flavour with subtle anise-like undertones. Nutrient-rich harvests that can explode in clusters larger than the bag in just 19 days.
 
This is a renowned commercial strain grown at large scale throughout the USA. The striking blue-grey mushrooms are an absolute powerhouse: the strain is an aggressive grower with large dense mushrooms that produce very uniform growth and store and cook very well.
 
Why This Kit? Learn Once, Grow Forever
This is more than just a one-time grow, it's designed to teach you the fundamentals of mushroom cultivation using spawn. Once you've mastered the process you can switch to our affordable >> Refill Kits for ongoing production. Refills cost just $30 and include everything except the wood pellets (which you can easily source locally for $10-14 per 15-20kg bag from supermarkets, Bunnings or Mitre 10). This keeps your costs low while letting you grow a steady supply of delicious mushrooms sustainably.
 
This kit once mixed makes a 7KG mushroom grow kit. That will typically fruit for up to 6+ months. The first 2 - 3 harvests will be the largest.
 
Blue Oyster Key Growing Conditions
Temperature: Fruiting thrives at 10-22°C, making it suitable for cooler growing conditions where other oysters might struggle.
Light: Indirect sunlight / reading level light. Avoid direct sun.
Airflow: Oysters like fresh air and humidity - Growing in a bathroom works well. Avoid overly drafty areas.
Harvest: Harvest when caps begin to flatten out. (*The pictured mushrooms are at the perfect time to harvest).
