Description

There are numerous species of mushrooms and increasingly many exotic varieties are being used for their remarkable flavours in oriental cooking, as well as countless other recipes. At Thompson & Morgan we are great advocates of growing your own vegetables, so why not try something a little bit different, and grow your own mushrooms?

Mushroom growing may seem complicated but our easy to grow kits are provided with full instructions and require no specialist equipment.

Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus)

These mushrooms have a thick, soft texture with a subtle flavour. Can be eaten cooked or raw and are often used in Oriental cooking.

This easy to use kit provides everything you will need to produce your very own Oyster mushrooms, including:

50g fresh oyster grain spawn

1 bag of straw

Full cultural instructions.

Straw kits produce oyster mushrooms in around 6 weeks, and as they are grown indoors, are available all year.

Caution

Some people are allergic to mushrooms or mushroom spores and others may become sensitised by high concentrations of spores.
