Why we love them:

Blue oyster mushrooms are velvety, savory, and mild and pair perfectly with just about any recipe! Blue oysters are a staple here at North Spore (going all the way back to when we began as an urban farm.) After perfecting our blue oyster kits over the years, they’ve become one of the easiest kits to get multiple fruitings from and should produce a second flush of mushrooms (or more!)

Our USDA-certified organic blue oyster mushroom kits are reliable producers and tend to yield large flushes of beautiful light grayish-brown to deep blue-gray mushrooms when given adequate humidity. With continued proper care, you should be able to get multiple flushes. (We 100% guarantee your first flush of mushrooms, but hope you'll try for 2 or 3!)

That's not mold, it's mycelium!

Your kit includes an amended sawdust block fully colonized with mushroom mycelium. It may appear covered with a soft, white, mold-like substance - that's the mushroom mycelium! It is completely normal. The mycelium of some species is more prominent than others.

FAQs

Inside your Spray & Grow Kit is a living organism, so we recommend activating it upon receipt. If you need to wait, you can store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight or in the fridge for around 2-3 months.

No. These kits are designed to stay inside the box.

After removing the front panel of the box along the perforated lines, cut an X into the exposed plastic. Enough oxygen gets to the block through this cut and it directs the mushrooms to form there. Remember to leave the plastic flaps of the X on the bag, they'll help to keep moisture in. The mushrooms will easily grow out of the sliced X section, so no need to open it up more as they fruit.

You don’t need to empty the bottle each time you spray, but it is important to get the area where you cut open the bag nice and damp! Try 5-10 sprays each time. It can take a little trial and error to get the frequency and amount just right.

If the surface of the block seems very dry the next time you spray it, you should give it a bit more water or water a bit more often. If you run AC or live in an arid climate, using a humidity tent can be useful to prevent your block from drying out.

Chances are, that's not mold - it's mycelium! Your kit includes an amended sawdust block with mushroom mycelium growing through it. The block may appear covered with a soft, white, mold-like substance. That's the mushroom mycelium, and it's totally normal and healthy for your mushroom block. The mycelium of some species is more prominent than others.

For example, lion's mane mycelium tends to be finer and more difficult to see while oysters can develop into a very thick and leathery mat. If you are still unsure about what's growing on your kit, reach out to us with a photo and we will help you identify what's going on.

If your kit has black, green, or orange patches it's possible your kit was damaged in transit and has mold. Reach out to us with a photo and we'll make it right.

Spray and grow

So cool, my first time growing mushrooms after searching for them in the wild for decades! I didn't think my blue oysters were going to grow but I moved them and bam!

First grow success

Good.. I had to be patient but suddenly there were mushrooms - and then again and even a third time. I was encouraged enough to up the game and buy grow chamber. Stand by for results on that

Blue Oyster “Cult”

Moving up as I assemble some mono tubs, i thought I’d try the Blue Oyster spray and grow kit while reading for mor advanced grows. After 13 days of spraying I wasn’t seeing any activity, i re-read all the directions again for the 5 or 6 time. I broke out a little humidity tent I had used with my shiitake logs. Put it on and gave it a good mist. The next morning lots of big pins and little mushrooms. 3 days later it’s big and ready for the first harvest. I’m going to use the biggest healthyest one to try my hand at spore prints. And some of the grains on agar to keep a copy of this strain. I liked this so much I signed up for the subscription kit so I can try all the varieties to settle on a few favorites. What are you waiting for, buy one of these and get started.
Easy,Tasty,
