About this product

Oyster mushrooms are the most forgiving species to grow at home. The block arrives fully colonised with mycelium; all you do is open the window in the box, keep it humid and watch the grey caps spill over the edge.

Mild, soft and meaty. Perfect fried until crisp in butter, in soups or folded into an omelette. After the harvest the block rests and often gives you a second flush.

Taste and texture: Mild and nutty; meaty and juicy once cooked.
