Premium, rich and satisfyingly meaty, the King Oyster Mushroom is prized for its thick stem, firm texture and deep umami flavour.
Perfect for slicing, scoring and pan-searing, it holds its shape beautifully when cooked. Its substantial texture makes it an excellent choice for stir-fries, grills, pasta dishes and meat-free meals.
When will they start growing?
After cutting the X, you can usually expect growth within 7–15 days.
Once the first pins appear, your mushrooms will continue developing and should be ready to harvest within approximately 7–14 days.
Where should I keep my log?
Keep your mushroom log in a clean, bright indoor space with indirect light and fresh airflow.
Avoid direct sunlight and strong drafts. Ideal fruiting temperatures are between 13–20°C.
How often should I mist?
Mushrooms love moisture. Gently mist the growing area at least three times per day.
If your environment is particularly dry, place a humidifier nearby to help maintain consistent humidity.
Will they grow again?
Yes! With the right care and suitable growing conditions, your log can produce approximately 2–3 harvests.
After harvesting, allow the log to rest. New mushrooms may begin appearing again within approximately 7–20 days.
