(Pleurotus ostreatus)
These fruiting blocks feature a strain that produces beautiful clusters of mushrooms with bluish-gray to brownish-gray caps, depending on lighting conditions. They have a rich umami flavor and a soft meaty texture that lends itself to most recipes. Blue oyster mushrooms are great for beginners as they are reliable producers and tend to grow large flushes. They are also one of the easiest blocks to get subsequent fruitings and, if kept in the right conditions, should reliably produce a second flush or more!
Upon receiving your kit:
Remove kit from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive!

FLAVOR & PAIRING
I love searing mine with a good bbq sauce to make sliders.
Blues are great with creamy sauces, thyme, garlic, and shallots.
