Rich, savoury and satisfyingly meaty, the Brown Oyster Mushroom is loved for its deep umami flavour and firm texture.
It holds its shape beautifully when cooked, making it ideal for sautés, grills, stir-fries and hearty plant-based dishes. Naturally rich in protein, antioxidants and essential minerals, it’s a versatile choice for both cooking and home growing.
When will they start growing?
After cutting the X, you can usually expect growth within 3–15 days.
Once the first pins appear, your mushrooms will grow quickly and should be ready to harvest within approximately 5–10 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 22–28°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.
