Grey Oyster Mushroom is probably the easiest mushroom to grow; it produces incredibly fine and large harvests in garden beds, in raised beds, and in companion planting with other plants. Additionally, you save 137 SEK compared to buying the products individually!
To make it easy and fun to start your garden cultivation of Grey Oyster Mushroom, we have put together a kit that includes everything you need for successful cultivation and a good harvest. The kit includes mycelium and an optimal choice and ratio of substrate. All you need to do is start the cultivation, wait, and harvest. Grey Oyster Mushroom is very easy to grow, and fruiting bodies will appear continuously from May all the way to the end of October, depending on where in Sweden you are located. 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 deciduous wood in spring and autumn each year. More substrate = more nutrients = more mushrooms.
The kit includes:
- 900g fast-growing Grey Oyster Mushroom mycelium
- 13 kg straw pellets
- 5 kg alder wood chips

It's worth noting that this is Fabian at Svamphuset's favorite mushroom to grow outdoors, as well as to cook with. The taste resembles the sea, anise, and vacation. More often than not, a Friday evening at Fabian's house ends with a creamy lemon zest pasta with well-fried oyster mushrooms topped with a handful of roasted pine nuts and a heap 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.
