Choosing a Blue Oyster Grow Kit

We stock Blue Oyster as a all in one grow bag, fruiting block and grow box. Ready to fruit options arrive fully colonised, so you simply open, mist and harvest, while our all in one grow bag bundles include a Blue Oyster liquid culture for you to inoculate yourself. Expect your first harvest in around 10 to 14 days once fruiting begins.

How to Grow Blue Oyster at Home

Keep the kit somewhere bright but out of direct sun and mist two or three times a day. Blue oyster loves fresh air; long stems and small caps mean it needs more. Pick the cluster as the cap edges begin to flatten. Blue Oyster fruits best at around 10 to 18°C.

Cooking and Using Blue Oyster

Blue oysters have a mild, savoury flavour and a tender bite. Tear them into strips and fry hot and fast with garlic, or add them to stir fries, ramen and pasta.

Grow From Scratch

Prefer to start from culture? Our Blue Oyster liquid culture and Blue Oyster grain spawn let you grow blue oyster from the very beginning. A fruiting tent keeps humidity steady, and you can browse every option in our mushroom grow kits range.
