Blue Oyster

A vigorous and productive Oyster mushroom that is especially suitable for cooler fruiting conditions. Blue Oyster is a strong choice for first-time growers.

Pearl Oyster

A classic, versatile Oyster mushroom with reliable colonisation and attractive pale-grey fruiting clusters.

Lion’s Mane

A distinctive white gourmet mushroom that grows well on hardwood substrate. Lion’s Mane requires good humidity and regular fresh-air exchange during fruiting.

How the Kit Works

  1. Clean the injection port and attach the sterile needle to the liquid-culture syringe.

  2. Inject the liquid culture into the grain layer through the self-healing injection port.

  3. Allow the grain layer to colonise with healthy white mycelium.

  4. Mix the colonised grain through the hardwood substrate when instructed.

  5. Allow the complete block to colonise before introducing fruiting conditions.

  6. Follow the included species-specific instructions to fruit and harvest your mushrooms.

Designed for Beginners

The grow bag remains sealed during inoculation and colonisation, helping to reduce unnecessary handling and contamination risk. No pressure cooker, flow hood or specialist laboratory equipment is required.

Colonisation and fruiting times vary depending on the mushroom species, temperature, culture vitality and growing conditions. Full instructions are included with every kit.

Freshly Prepared to Order

Each kit is prepared fresh to order. Please allow up to 4 working days for preparation and dispatch during busy periods.
