THE HASSLE FREE, READY TO FRUIT SOLUTION TO GROWING KING OYSTER AT HOME

King Oyster mushrooms have long been valued across Asia for their unique culinary qualities and potential health benefits. Originally grown in regions of the Mediterranean and later prized in East Asia, King Oysters are known for their meaty texture and high nutritional content, making them a staple in many traditional dishes.

Today, King Oyster mushrooms are recognised not only for their delicious, umami-rich flavor but also for their potential health-boosting properties. Studies suggest that King Oysters contain compounds called ergothioneine and beta-glucans, which act as antioxidants and support the body’s immune system. Additionally, they are a good source of fiber, B vitamins, and essential minerals, contributing to heart health and overall wellness.

King Oyster mushrooms are a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike for their thick, dense stems, which develop a rich, savory flavor when cooked. Their versatility makes them ideal for grilling, roasting, or slicing into hearty "scallops" for plant-based dishes. King Oyster’s satisfying texture and robust taste bring depth to a variety of meals, from hearty stews to gourmet entrees, making them a perfect choice for anyone looking to enhance both flavor and nutrition.

Whether you’re a seasoned grower or a complete beginner, our kit takes the guesswork out of mushroom cultivation and turns it into a fun, straightforward process.

Simply follow our easy step-by-step guide, and watch your mushrooms grow! With minimal effort and space required, you’ll be harvesting beautiful, therapeutic King Oyster mushrooms in no time. 

The process is simple: 

1. PREPARE THE BAG: When the block starts pinning, open the top of the bag or make small slits on the sides for airflow, keeping the bag moist to encourage mushroom growth.
2. MAINTAIN HUMIDITY: Maintain a humidity-controlled environment at 16-21°C for best results—cooler temperatures help develop thicker, meatier stems.
3. HUMIDITY-CONTROLLED CHAMBER: For optimal growth, place the fruiting block in a chamber like a MonoTub or Martha tent, as this will help to maintain optimum fruiting conditions

INGREDIENTS

Good ingredients make for good grow kits. That is why we only use our 100% natural and organic grain and masters mix substrate in our kits. We only use the best, natural ingredients for our products, so you get the best mushrooms. 

Our proprietary substrate blend is a mix of optimally hydrated millet grains, milo grains, hardwood pellets, soy hulls and gypsum. This mixture is carefully hydrated to field capacity and sterilised in a computer-controlled steam autoclave for 2 hours at 121°C. The result is an optimal 6:1 substrate to spawn ratio. This is then inoculated with our own King Oyster liquid culture, the substrate providing the perfect nutrient rich environment for mycelium, ensuring rapid colonisation, large yields, and minimal risk of contamination. After a period of a few weeks the substrate is fully colonised and ready to ship to customers.
