📋 Usage

If you can't use the bunch right away, you can store it in the fridge for about two weeks. This variety thrives in temperatures between 15 and 29°C, with the ideal range being between 18 and 22°C.

To ensure vibrant colors, make sure the plant gets plenty of light. Make a slit in the side of the bag at the substrate level, remove the air from the bag, and place it with the opening on its side. Keep the bag moist until buds appear, maintaining a humidity level of 80 to 90%. Use our mini-sprayer or professional misters to maintain optimal humidity.

🔍 fruiting settings

🏡 Where should you grow it?

Grow them indoors (kitchen, garage, basement). Oyster mushrooms need a little light to grow. Opt for indirect sunlight and avoid anything that might dry out the substrate: drafts, radiators, and direct sunlight. Oyster mushrooms like humidity but don’t like being constantly soaked.

📦 harvest Storage

Harvest the clusters before the edges of the caps curl up and start to turn slightly brown. Early in the growth stage, the caps can double in size every day. When growth begins to slow down, it’s usually the right time to harvest. Harvesting young mushrooms ensures better shelf life, as well as a brighter color and a more tender texture. Pull the clusters out by twisting them. Remove any remaining stem pieces from the substrate and keep it moist until the harvest .

We usually get three harvests from this type of plant. The first harvest the most abundant, and each subsequent harvest yields half as much.

Oyster mushrooms will keep for about 7 to 10 days in a paper bag in the refrigerator. For longer storage, you can freeze them or can them.

💡 Tips

To promote growth and productivity in second and third crops:

• Rehydrate the bags by soaking them in water overnight, then drain them and return them to the growing medium.
• Give the bundle a " cold shoc placing it in a cool place (such as the refrigerator or outdoors) overnight. This simulates the onset of winter and encourages fungal growth.
