Grow your own Gold Oyster mushrooms. Mist and harvest!

(Yields 2-4 Lbs)

Enjoy amazingly fresh mushrooms at your home. A very simple process that will most likely turn into your new favorite hobby!

Gold oyster (Yellow oyster, Pleurotus citrinopileatus)

Flavor/texture: Delicate, Floral, unique "umami" aroma that’s hard to describe

True showstoppers. This Hi-Vis fungus is always entertaining. It can be quite surprising, popping up out of nowhere overnight and it has a unique way of “pinning”(baby mushroom formation) in marshmallow-like clouds of primordia.

In the kitchen they can be used to elevate many recipes calling for common button mushrooms, shiitake, etc. They also make an excellent meat replacement. They pull apart much like meat to make a delectable meatless BBQ sandwich!

This variety offers more vigorous colonization, making it suitable for year-round cultivation.

Harvested the first batch and they are delicious!! Just starting to see the beginning of the next batch. Can’t wait!!

Ann L.

This was our first try with NearbyNaturals. The Gold Oyster mushrooms we chose grew so fast and smelled delicious! We are trying to grow a second batch now!

Sid N.

This was a gift for my sister. She absolutely loves it! It grows so quickly that its different every time she gets home from work. A couple weeks in and she is already growing the second batch. Would recommend this to anyone!

Ivette G.

My sister and brother-in-law loved the mushroom kit. There are into their 2nd harvest! Absolutely the best gift ever. I would gladly purchase it again.

Paul E.

first time growing . on 3rd batch from box. very pleased

Drew W.

The mushrooms are not only enjoyable to eat, a ton of fun to grow too! Super easy and rewarding. Would recommend to a friend

Jenny C.

This was probably the best purchase I made in 2020! I bought one for my husband and one for my dad for Christmas and they both have been doing great! I was worried because, since they were gifts, I didn’t open the box for a little while after they arrived and didn’t realize that they should be refrigerated if you’re not setting them up right away. Even with that, they seem to be fine and have been pretty fool-proof. We’ve had a great time watching them as they change and grow very quickly. My three-year-old, especially, has been super excited to check on their progress. Plus, they look SO COOL! We’re getting ready to harvest our first group of Gold Oyster mushrooms and I can’t wait to try them. I 100% recommend Nearby Naturals to everyone!

Denise B.

Got this as a gift for the kids and it was really cool to see the mushrooms grown and be able to eat them!

ELIZABETH T.

The kit arrived in perfect condition with easy to follow instructions. The entire process was amazing... almost like watching time lapse photography. I photographed morning and night starting at the ‘pinning’ stage. Super fun to watch. Harvested but will cook in the next day. I’m trying to find a worthy dish fir them.

Chris C.

Followed the instructions and it worked! After about 7 days they pinned, and after another 7 days I harvested and cooked them. Have it setup now for the second growth.

Nikita J.

I really enjoyed this and plan to do it again! It was fairly simple and super fun!

Sharon M.

I was worried because we had to refrigerate these longer than suggested, so we could give them for Christmas. They refrigerated for over two weeks and they still grew beautifully.

Arpana G.

amazing taste and the experience of watching them grow was breathtaking

Jonathon H.

Super easy and awesome to watch! We had mushrooms within a week. Would definitely purchase again.

Fred E.

It took alittle bit longer for them to get started than I thought it would. But BAMM. they turned out great. Tasted awesome. The 2nd batch has just started to appear. We liked it so much we bought a different kind as well.

Susan Y.

Bought these for my daughter for Christmas. Wish I had known they would only keep in fridge for a few days. Gave them to her early. Growing like crazy! She loves them. My 10 year old granddaughter likes them so much that she is giving a kit to her friend for as a birthday gift.

Debra S.

I gave this to my daughter as an early Christmas present and she loves it! It was easy to get started and is growing well. Excellent product!

Mary B.

Good instructions. Easy to grow. But mushrooms were tough when cooked. It was fun, but we would not do it again.

Patty I.

This is the second round from the box I sent to my son in California. The first crop was just as impressive. They shipped super fast, and he will be able to enjoy a special meal for his first Christmas away from home, which makes me feel just a bit better. I think I may need a kit, too! This is a fabulous product, and we will be repeat customers for sure!

Katie E.

These things grow like weeds! And I love weed! They don’t stop growing! I’m so happy with this product! My only complaint is it took a while for delivery, which is understandable because it’s such a great product!!

Kimberly B.

Love watching it grow!!!

Jacqueline J.

I bought this to use in a classroom so my students could document how different things grow in a hands on way, as we grew plants in the room as well. Afterwards we were able to have enough mushrooms for everyone to have a section to really dissect and look into. The rest went home with me to enjoy! I will say, our first batch I couldn’t figure out when to harvest and they dropped spores all over the place - but this made for a great lesson for the kids to see how fungi propagate the species as opposed to using seeds!

Adrianne F.

It was so fun! The oyster mushrooms grew so fast! Tasted delicious! The whole family enjoyed the entire process!

Christopher S.

I didn't believe it was this simple! Give it a try, you'll get a big kick out of it!

Blake E.

I cooked my blue oyster for a second time tonight. VERY good! Cooked the yellow Sunday, not good I'm leaning so maybe I gave it to much water. Waiting on the next batch. I will order again . Love your products.

justin b.

At first i was confused because they start as a small white lump; thought they were lions mane but in about a day you see the individual tops begin to form and fast its so much fun to grow because you get results so fast

Rachael B.

It seemed to take quite a few weeks before it got to this stage. The color is a creamy white and not golden so I don't know if that happens as the mushrooms mature? I am excited to enjoy these mushrooms!

Joe C.

So it took about 12 days before we started to see anything grow. But as soon as it did it started to grow like crazy. We are about 2 days from harvest and we can not wait. Going to order more this week to give as gifts to a few chefs I know. Thanks again, Joe and Meredith

Carole C.

Ready to make our second harvest. sending photos of 1st and 2nd.

Kelly G.

I loved the growing process and the whole family was amazed at the rapid growth. I made a delicious pasta, lemon, spinach and gold oyster mushroom dish and they tasted amazing. Maybe blue oyster next???

Paul M.

Got the kit, followed directions, and off she went. Can't wait for a few more days to cook these and see how they taste! whole experience has been great so far.

Ronita E.

When I first saw this I was more than intrigued to say the least! I just had to buy one! At first I thought I was definitely doing it wrong but when I tweaked my care with more water and more light I got my little pins! And in no time at all I was harvesting that big beautiful bunch you see above!! I dehydrated some and Cooked some, they are delicious! I thought they might get a little mushy but they were firm and flavorful when cooked! Can’t wait to try my second one! Bon Appetito!!!

David W.

Instructions were clear and we got two big flushes. Kids enjoyed watching it grow and liked eating them too! We liked the golden ones so much we purchased the blue and pink quickly after this one was done. The customer service was good too - we exchanged quite a few messages on Instagram since this was the first time I ever tried this. Their rep was very patient and helpful. Would recommend, especially if you have young kids.

gustavo d.

I loved it I wanna have a million of these boxes and just eat mushrooms all the time. I wanna be a mushroom.

Leith A.

Wonderful!!!

Lauren C.

Really easy and interesting to grow!

Diane B.

Working on my third batch now!

Doreen T.

So much fun to watch grow and they are delicious!

Doreen I.

I had problems with my first block, but Alina in Customer service was terrific. My second mock fruited and is kn it’s way to doing it again! Very happy!

James N.

These were just beginning to fruit when I left for a few days...what a great welcome home!

Ryan A.

Great taste and super fun to watch grow. Once they start they grow so fast, loved the experience. Ordered the blue oyster mushrooms first but they didn't sprout. With an email and picture nearby naturals compensated and I got the golden oysters. Great customer service and great product. Will definitely will purchase more.

Devin M.

so good I just bought a lions mane!!!! thank you

Jacque G.

Sent as a gift to my son in law. They loved them!

Kathy D.

I gave this as a gift and my friend was surprised and excited. He has been growing and spraying for about 14 days now and the 'shrooms are turning gold and exploding with growth. This has been a real winner of a birthday present!

Steve B.

Easy, fun and delicious. Here comes the second batch of oyster mushrooms.

Eric W.

Tasty!

Bennett D.

Super easy to follow instructions and excellent results. Image pictured is shortly before the first harvest of which we have had two similarly sized "crops" and working on a third. Part of the first batch was sauteed and used as pizza topping. So good!

Charles I.

IT'S GOING GOOD

Steven W.

Looking forward to eating them!

Stanislav K.

Hi It was great experience. Great product. And a matter of fact it was pretty good on taste. Here link to small video i made while mushrooms grows https://youtu.be/pA9VqrGnShY I would like to know more about extension kits. Kits that allows to continue to use substance where mushroom grows Thank you

James B.

Ordered the golden oyster grow kit. It started growing I thought it didn't look right so I sent a picture to nearby naturals and they explained everything was going good. Had sauteed mushrooms tonight. Delish.

Brian D.

This was my first time trying to grow my own edible mushrooms. I usually buy from a vendor at my local farmers market, but his prices are high, and he talks my ears off so I am happy to find out I can grow my own oyster mushrooms right on my kitchen counter. I do wish the Nearby Naturals website had more post-sale support. I think at one time I found FAQ’s and even a video on the site, but when I went back there after picking my first harvest from my gold oyster kit, I couldn’t find the video or online FAQ anywhere. The instruction sheet that accompanied my kit even said to go to the website for more info. I wasn’t sure how long it would take to get a second harvest from my kit, or if I needed to “rest” the block before starting another growing cycle.

brian d.

This is the second batch grew great and so tasty love it I will definitely try another type

Jacob Z.

Oysters are so easy for anyone willing to grow and maintain.

Ryan C.

This kit was awesome! They really couldn’t be easier to grow! Within a couple weeks I had my first flush and I just harvested more this after!

dustin b.

I was not given the option to post an image but myn2 varieties of mushrooms are growing beautifuly. Every few days we have a delicious bounty!

Victoria L.

I just harvested my second harvest. It was as good as the first one. Looking forward to more

Karissa B.

This is my third round! I love growing these mushrooms :)

Michelle S.

The Golden Oyster has been growing without ceasing since I started it! Soooo many much rooms! And so beautiful!

Christiann B.

I ordered my golden oyster and was filled with excitement to be growing a mushroom for the first time ever. Nearby Naturals made it easy and fun and the harvest was worth every bit of the money. I had so many oyster mushroom fruiting bodies that I gave some to friends. It was a beautiful experience. Trying the Reishi next! Christiann Burch - Portland Oregon

Kerstin H.

Super fun experience to grow our own food, especially during COVID! The mushrooms were beautiful and really delicious!! We fried them in butter with salt and pepper and put over mashed potatoes, made mushroom wontons, and mushroom omelets. Customer service was exceptional when one box started to get green mold--super friendly and accommodating. We've been recommending to our friends and fam, too.

Jesse C.

Love my golden oyster kit! It keeps growing and growing! Super easy to grow and maintain going to try the lions main next!

Lisa C.

My fault entirely on this one. I harvested the lion's mane a day to late and it went from firm to spongy in most places. I broke it into clumps and roasted with olive oil and garlic, and the few clumps that were firm were amazing. Oh well. Lesson learned. I ordered the pioppinos for my next try.

Jt T.

I really enjoyed growing these. It was easy to do. My family and I loved watching them get bigger each morning until they were ready. They were really delicious. I’m working my fourth grow.

Donald H.

Nearby Naturals was a fantastic experience. Within a few weeks, we had the most beautiful Golden Oyster mushroom. We made homemade pasta to pair with the mushrooms, and my husband and I both agree it was the best meal we have ever had.

Lesley M.

Interesting, easy and delicious!

Catherine R.

Mild, tasty. Very good in eggs.

Kody H.

We have gotten 7 harvest from one side of it.

Grace P.

We loved the golden oyster mushroom block - they were absolutely delicious! I am debating ordering the expansion bags but not sure yet. We got two harvests from the block and had hoped we would get more.

francois c.

Harvested about 3lbs!

Vanessa H.

I had three harvests from my gold oyster mushrooms and the first was absolutely enormous! We made simple vegetarian pasta dishes by cooking them in butter with garlic, and I saved the stems to make a delicious mushroom broth.

Kelly M.

I flipped over after and got another Flush on the other side . Delicious dishes I made many!!

Krista T.

Just starting growing mushrooms, I ordered a few kits, yours was the best producing by far. Will love being able to offer these to my catering clients. Delicious! Thanks! K. Towns

Faith F.

Growing Gold mushrooms is magically delicious!

chris m.

Very cool product. Easy shipping and set up, mushrooms great well and produced 2-3 harvests.

Whitney L.

I managed two harvests, but the first one I wasn't sure that they were ready based on the descriptions and let them go a bit long. The second harvest was much bigger - I think maybe because I cut a larger hole. It was super fun to watch them grow - so FAST! I would say a better guide (with pictures) on when to harvest would be helpful for newbies, but I really enjoyed the experience and when I reached out about my first harvest I got a quick answer via Instagram. Would definitely recommend!

Robert D.

Amazing.... my kids and I were thrilled!

Jennifer R.

Growing mushrooms at home has been a fun part of quarantine! We look forward to frying these up into oyster mushroom po’boys for our vegetarian teenagers.

Jon J.

I will order again.

Roger D.

There was a mistake with my order and they fixed it immediately,, can't ask for more than that!!

Karen M.

Loved the fun growing experience of these golden oyster mushrooms! They were delicious sautéed in a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Will definitely buy again to try other varieties!

Lisa C.

So easy and rewarding to grow! In 10 to 14 days, I had beautiful golden oyster mushrooms, which I cooked in the most simple way by sauteeing in good olive oil and an obscene amount of garlic, garnishing with freshly ground white peppercorns and coarse salt. I am now growing lions's mane mushrooms and am gathering recipes as we speak. And I gifted my son and daughter-in-law with golden mushrooms for their first anniversary (clearly the Fungus Anniversary!)

Christine B.

Got a few rounds of lovely, delicious mushys! Will try another variety next time, fascinating process to watch.

Thomas C.

It looks like I've found a new hobby! I've started growing edible mushrooms! So far I've grown, harvested, cooked, and eaten my Gold Oyster mushrooms! I have also dehydrated them so I can eat them anytime I want! Now I am working on growing Blue Oysters, Pioppinos, and Lions Mane! If I had known it was this easy to grow mushrooms, I wish I would have started years ago. Thank you Nearby Naturals!

Melanie S.

Loved the experience, but I think I will buy the box of already grown mushrooms in the future! It showed me that I can really grow things!

Hilliary W.

This kit was great the only problem I had with it was that I could not get it to grow the second time. But the mushrooms from the first batch were amazing

Theresa H.

So much fun to watch them grow! And super delicious.
