Probably the easiest mushroom to grow; Gray oyster mushroom! Gives incredibly fine and large harvests when cultivated outdoors and when co-cultivated with plants. In addition, you save a full €10 with this kit than if you buy the products individually!
To make it easy and fun to get started with your outdoor cultivation of Gray oyster mushroom, we have put together a kit that contains exactly everything you need for successful cultivation and a good harvest. The kit includes mycelium and an optimal choice and ratio of substrate. All you have to do is start the cultivation, wait, and harvest. Gray oyster mushrooms are very easy to grow and fruiting bodies appear continuously from May all the way into the end of October, depending on where you are. You can expect about 2 years of continuous harvest from the kit. If you want to extend this for a few more years, you can easily add more straw pellets, wood chips, grass clippings or rice from deciduous trees in spring and autumn each year. More substrate = more nutrients = more fungi.
The kit contains:
- 900g of rapit-growing mycelium from Gray oyster mushroom
- 13 kg of straw pellets
- 5 kg wood chips from alder

It should be added that this is Fabian at the Mushroom House's favorite mushroom not only to grow outdoors, but also in cooking. The taste is reminiscent of the sea, anise, and holidays. More often than not, a Friday at Fabian's ends with a creamy lemon and garlic pasta with well-fried oyster mushrooms topped with a handful of toasted pine nuts and a mountain of grated parmesan.
1. Dig a 10-13 cm deep growing bed of 1 square meter.
2. Cover the entire bottom of the pit with 1-2 cm wood chips from alder.
3. Sprinkle a 0.5-1 cm layer of mycelium over the entire surface.
4. Cover the mycelium with 1-2 cm of straw pellets.
5. Cover the straw pellets with 1-2 cm wood chips from alder.
6. Sprinkle a 0.5-1 cm layer of mycelium over the entire surface.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 until you have filled the entire pit up to the edge. The bed can advantageously be filled 5-10 over the edge. Always finish with wood chips or straw pellets to protect the mycelium.
8. Water abundantly when finished and continue to water abundantly in the evenings for the first two days. In case of drought, water abundantly in the evenings twice a week.
9. Done! Now it's just a matter of waiting. Within 1-3 months you will get the first harvest.
At any time, you can top up with more wood chips, straw, grass clippings or hardwood twigs from the garden which will act as nourishment for the mycelium. More nutrition will produce more fruiting bodies. In this way, you can keep the cultivation going for several years.
1. When growing Gray oyster mushroom in the garden, it is important that you grow under bushes or vegetables that create shade on the ground. Too much direct sunlight can dry out the substrate and damage or kill the mycelium. We recommend at least a total cultivation of a total of one square meter.
2. Spread an even layer of all the straw pellets directly on the soil where your plants are growing. Better to take too much than too little.
3. Then spread an even layer with all the mycelium over the entire surface.
4. Cover the entire surface with wood chips from alder.
5. Water properly the first two days. Then water as usual when you water your plants.
6. Done. Now it's just a matter of waiting. Within 1-3 months you will get the first harvest.
The advantage of co-cultivating Gray oyster mushroom with plants is that you get fresh mushrooms, that you do not need to water the plants as often as the mycelium and the substrate hold down moisture in the soil, that the plants continuously receive easily absorbable nutrition from the byproduct of the substrate that the mycelium breaks down and you get in addition, a beneficial microlife such as happy earthworms and other beneficial animals that help the plants thrive even more. Feel free to continuously fill it with grass clippings, hardwood twigs, straw pellets, and other things from the garden to extend your mushroom cultivation.
Orders placed before 11.00 a.m. are usually shipped the same day. We deliver with DHL and deliveries usually take 2-3 working days. Fungal mycelium is resistant but cannot withstand high temperatures. If the climate exceeds 25, we wait for cooler temperatures before sending the packages in order for your products to arrive to you in the best possible condition.
