Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit Full Instructions
What’s in the box?
The grow kits contains everything you need to grow delicious oyster mushrooms in the comfort of your own home.
Please note: the kit is a living organism with a life cycle that culminates in producing mushrooms. This can be slowed down for a few weeks by keeping the box cool but eventually mushrooms will grow out of the closed box! For storage a fridge would be ideal, but anywhere that is below 10 degrees C (celsius) will be okay. We still advise a use by date, which you can find on the bottom of the box.
How does it work?
YME have prepared the highest quality oyster mushroom substrate block from natural ingredients (British straw, waste coffee grounds, wood shavings and fungi spawn) in the low-tech, environmentally friendly YME mushroom farm just 1 mile from Leeds city centre.
YME incubate the substrate blocks for two weeks in a dark, temperature controlled environment (the boring bit) so all that’s left is for you to give the fungi some fresh air and moisture, then sit back and watch those mushies grow!
