Chestnut Mushrooms

Grow nutty, peppery Chestnut Mushrooms (Pholiota adiposa) at home with this ready-to-fruit kit. Rich in beneficial compounds, these gourmet mushrooms elevate risottos, stews, and roasts with their robust, earthy flavour and firm texture. More complex than standard oyster varieties, chestnuts offer discerning food lovers exceptional culinary versatility.

Kit includes: Fully colonised 1.1kg block (10cm x 10cm x 20cm), complete instructions, and recipe inspiration. Position in cool location (10-18°C) and cut an X-shaped opening. Wait for clustered pins to emerge (usually within days), then begin daily misting. Pins develop into substantial harvests quickly. Enjoy 2-3 generous flushes over 90 days. After harvesting, rest blocks 7-10 days whilst continuing to mist. Once indoor cycles complete, bury spent blocks 15cm deep in shaded, moist garden spots.
