Product Overview

This kit is designed to grow blue-grey oysters outdoors on logs and includes everything you need for a successful grow! 

While growing mushrooms this way may take a little longer, it is a less labor-intensive, more natural, and easier maintenance method.

 

Each log growing kit contains a set of reusable tools and instructions to help you successfully select, prepare, and inoculate a 50cm hardwood log. 

Whether it’s a gift for yourself that you want to use later or for somebody else, our easy-to-use voucher system means that you can get growing whenever you are ready. The living spawn is sent separately, ensuring the freshest and best quality materials for you to grow with.

We want to ensure that you have a quality experience, which is why our kits are more than just simple ‘open and spray’ sets. As well as the skeleton instruction guide within the kit, we have created an online in-depth growth guide and video, which will take you through the process step-by-step, right up to harvesting earthy and high-quality mushrooms. 

  • Suitable for all ages and experience levels 
  • Our most hands-on mushroom kit available 
  • Harvest shiitake mushrooms 4-6 times a year, for up to 8 years
  • Please read below for more species information, specifications, and video

NOTE: This version of the kit contains a voucher to redeem your spawn plugs inside.

The most effective and natural way to grow these mushrooms is on hardwood logs using mushroom dowels. With your spawn voucher, you can claim your dowels, which will then be delivered fresh to your front door. 

It can take up to a year to see your first harvest flourish. However, this low-intensity method of growing can see you harvesting Blue-Grey Oyster mushrooms for up to eight years. This makes this kit a gift that offers years of money saving from supermarket plastic wrapped mushrooms, as well as the chance to understand sustainable food production in a way where you can make a difference. We believe anyone can be an expert urban farmer with a little help from our kits. 

Traditionally, logs would be inoculated by placing them adjacent to more logs already growing mushrooms, and the spores would naturally infiltrate the new logs. Both the development of the mushroom industry and our knowledge about growing food sources in ways that mimic effective natural processes allow you to get a head start on growing by implanting the mycelium directly into the logs. 

  • Ideal Fruiting Conditions: 10-17 C. 
  • Storage Temperature: no higher than 5 C.
  • First Harvest Season: Autumn or Spring 
  • Strain: Pleurotus ostreatus
  • Suggested Log Types: Oak, Hornbeam, Alder, Beech
