Blue Oyster Grow Kit

Fun kit to grow. Super easy to do and quick to fruit.

Fun kit to grow. Easy as they sat to use. Haven't yet tried eating my shrooms but looking forward to it.

Very good flavor, waiting on my 2 nd crop

Super easy experience! This was a gift for my sister and my brother in law. Extremely quick payoff- and probably will get a second harvest off this batch. Thinking of recipes to make with these!

Instructions easy to follow, grew beautifully, and tastes delicious!

Was easy to do! Ready for another flush to pop!

What an awesome experience.

Really happy. Customer service is awesome.

Once these things get started they do grow fast. Started them on the 22nd of January and harvested the first crop on the 31st. Just starting to get a second growth (02/10/21). Took ten days before the second crop got going. First time trying to grow mushrooms. Something super fun to do in North Idaho in January.

We LOVED our mushrooms!! Super easy to grow and they were delicious!!

It was a lot of fun watching them grow, and a great learning experience. Mushrooms are truly magical!

Great gift for kids who also like to cook!

it was a fun kit.

I am still enjoying the blue oyster mushrooms kit. We harvested our first crop and have started the second. They were delicious, easy to grow, and so much fun to track the progress! Trying Lion's Mane next!!

Cool! Not fully grown yet, but I had to cut others holes in the bag b/c other clusters coming up!

I loved the blue oyster mushrooms. What a haul! It's more mushrooms than this mushroom lover can eat at one time. I'm looking forward to more. A great kit.

It’s fascinating to watch grow !! Actually quite beautiful. I never had this kind of mushroom before and I did not care for the flavor. My hubby loved them. Next time I’ll order a more familiar kind. But it’s a fun thing to watch!!

My Blue Oyster Mushrooms grew just like expected. I am currently awaiting a second harvest (babies already showing). It is so much fun growing mushrooms with Nearby Naturals! I am looking forward to trying some of the other varieties.

Purchased this as one of my sister’s Christmas gifts. Here’s a photo of the beautiful mushrooms she successfully grew in only a couple of weeks. She is beyond thrilled. Will be ordering more!

Got the blue oyster kit! Great. Just got the trumpet kit!!

Loved watching them grow! They were delicious! Hopefully we will get another batch!

A most incredible meal with our Blue Oysters and Farro. Some butter and sherry, I felt like I was dining in an Italian Farm house. No time for photos. We ate them pretty quick! Most definitely are ordering more and different variety. Well done you!

I enjoyed growing these mushrooms so much!! I bought the blue oyster mushrooms and the grew so fast! They started turning blue about halfway through the growing process, but by the time they were ready to harvest, all the blue had faded away. That was disappointing, but I enjoyed the process so much that I will definitely be buying more!

Harvesting tomorrow, can't wait to taste!!

We are really enjoying growing these shrooms! The process evolves so quickly, almost instant gratification! Our first harvest is done, the mushrooms were delicious; our second harvest is on the way and we actually have 5 separate baby "clumps" growing on different areas of the substrate. We will most definitely be ordering again, for us and our family. Thanks much!

Super fun to watch grow. Sooooo delicious, but a little sad to eat my mushroomate. Trying to get a second grow now. Fingers crossed

The kids (and adults) loved it! First seeing them grow, then eating them with tomato sauce!

Just as advertised. Super fun and delicious. Got my second round starting nicely. Beautiful to watch.

This was so fun, and surprisingly easy! The whole family had a blast both caring for and watching these mushrooms grow (so quickly). Highly recommended.

Great mushrooms!!

It was so much fun to watch the mushrooms grow! NearbyNaturals has great customer service. They helped me every step of the way!

Harvested 1st crop of Blues last night, 26 oz of big beautiful mushrooms! Sauteed some in a little butter, they were so delicious! Tasted like steak+lobster w a touch of chicken, amazingly good & they grew fresh in my kitchen. Start 11/29, harvest 12/9. Easy & exciting. 2nd crop is already showing, but want more! Going to try another variety now...NN shipped fast, & answered all my beginner questions. I'm hooked...

My granddaughter loved them. They got to be HUGE!!

They are doing great. Super stoked to harvest these delicious looking mycological marvels!!

Only one large cluster matured, now bugs have moved into the block, so I think my blue oyster is one and done. Also, the flavor was a bit musty and had notes of cat urine in the flavor. Maybe I just don't like oyster mushrooms.

This is our second harvest!

I have cancer and this box of mushrooms has been a delight and a good project for me! This is our harvest, and we have more coming!!

So so satisfying! If you’re a mushroom fiend like me then nothing quite tops being able to harvest huge bundles in your own home. On my second round of growth now!

The oyster mushrooms grew rapidly and harvested after about 8 days. Sautéd with French shallots, salt & pepper, a splash of sherry and served with rib eye steak—excellent. However, I have had no new “pins”. Sorry, because I thought I’d get at least one more set.

My first box didn’t work out well. The substrate had some kind of fungus. I emailed your company and they were very kind and replaced at no charge. I got a big harvest from the second box. I followed the directions for a second harvest but nothing ever developed. The oyster mushrooms were delicious !

My grandson loved every step.

Awesomely straightforward for us newbies! We're onto our second growth now, with multiple heads pinning at the same time. Great product, very satisfying!

Great harvest! The family loved watching it grow and loved even more eating it!

So fun to grow. You can see the growth difference even from morning to night. I may have found a new hobby

March an incredible experience with my blue trumpets. This collage is literally only over the course of around 8 days. My only disappointment is that they failed to produce a second crop. Despite that I did buy two other kits for Christmas gifts and look forward to possibly growing another type in the future.

These guys grow insanely fast. The picture I sent was ten days after I opened it, they began pinning five days after I set it up, and they would almost double in size every few hours after that. I did get a second harvest but I may have not scraped away enough of the mushroom 'root' in the grow hole as they began sprouting out the sides and I had to cut a few slits. While I didn't get as many shrooms they were massive caps the second go around. I'm on my third harvest and I thought I had scraped away too much this time, I got down to the brown color of the block, but they re-colonized after about a week and I have a nice little cluster coming up now. I'm actually thinking of purchasing your 10 kit bundle, there's a public market near me and they never have any fresh mushrooms besides your basic ones and I was wondering if you guys had any tips or advice on growing large quantities as I'd like to take them there and see what I can do. I would of course refer anyone to you guys if they wanted to purchase a kit of their own. I'm just getting into the world of mushrooms and I've gotten a few books including a field guide and I'm looking forward to foraging around me, I'm in upstate New York and there seems to be quite a lot of species around. I'll definitely be ordering from you guys again, it's a pretty cool experience watching them grow. Thanks!

These Blue Oysters were my favorite. Not only was the color very blue from raising them in a cooler climate, but they were tasty and fresh and ready in just under a week. The picture I sent is only 3 days after pinning, I seemed to have lost my harvest picture but it looks exactly like your website pic. These blues were outstanding.

Loved this! Our first order somehow did not work, but the company quickly sent us a replacement and it was so much fun. We are currently working on our third growth/possible harvest, from the resend. They are delicious and it was/is a great learning experience for our homeschooled children and for mom & dad!

This was out second kit and think we crushed it! Grew very fast and super easy.

Everyone, including my grandsons who are ages two and four , enjoyed spritzing the blue oysters as they were growing. We were able to get to yields so far and hoping for third!

I ordered the blue oyster mushrooms as a homeschooling experience. To say I’m delighted would be an understatement. My kids thoroughly enjoyed watching the changes over time, and even ate the mushroom risotto that we made with the finished product! I will be recommending this experience to all of my friends, and giving these boxes out for Christmas to my family. Thank you for all the fun!

The Blue Oyster Mushrooms grew great!

Everything has been so far, plan to eat them at the end of this week!

!!!

My kids and I absolutely LOVED growing this kit!!! It is shocking how fast they grow! Follow the instructions, which are very easy, and you will have a giant harvest. One tip for beginners like me: 8 hours can make a HUGE difference in quality!! I messaged customer service and got a wonderful un-named person who answered every questions I had. I sent a picture, and they said give it 2 more days- they will double in size. Well, they sure did!! I should have taken them that morning, but I waited until I got home from work.....and they had lost their blue color and got tough and chewy. I had sampled some when they were blue and they were perfect! My advice, better to take early than late. Anywho, already ordered lions mane and started my second grow on the blues. LOVE-THIS-COMPANY!!!!

They grow beautifully. Every week I have a full grown bouquet of mushroom

I had planned on waiting to start this kit after we got virtual school started. Apparently the kit had other plans! My son, 14and starting high school from our dining room, could not be more thrilled at how cool this is. I had the box under a table and noticed something odd, and this beauty appeared. Tomorrow with be show and tell in every class thank you for such a great experience and it hasn’t even started!

The first one wasn’t this big but I did have it outside. This second is pretty good size! I would recommend this product to anyone who loves to garden

Simply amazing. Beautiful to see it growing and then make a fantastic dinner out of it.

The growth is super fast and the texture is incredible, thank you, I am going to buy another to have another experience.H.Lopez PR.

These mushroom are out of control. At first I started getting worried because I didn’t see anything for like 4-5 weeks and then BOOM ! They grew like crazy ! They are absolutely beautiful ! Huge cluster... I can’t wait to cook them up !

Honestly, I am extremely impressed by the endurance of these mushrooms. My kit arrived just before I discovered I needed to emergency move out of my apartment, so due to the chaos of my life, they were terribly neglected. They bounced around with me as I couch surfed, I tried to water them as instructed but inevitably kept forgetting. After about two weeks when nothing happened, I resigned myself to the fact that I had neglected them so badly they would never grow. I left them unattended on the counter for about another week and stopped watering them completely. I was so disappointed in myself! I planned to throw them out, but never got around to it. Then, when I finally got around to it, I looked into the box and to my amazement they had begun to grow! Even without any real care or attention, these mushrooms came through. I am now very pleased and excited for my harvest. 10/10 recommend for anyone notorious for killing indoor plants.

What a fun way to grow mushrooms. Exciting from the start to the eating part!

This is our second batch of your blue oyster mushrooms. So easy to grow, endlessly beautiful, and delightfully delicious!

This was an excellent birthday present for my husband. The instructions were thorough, but as beginners, it's still easy to get confused during the pinning stage, especially once pins come up under the plastic in other areas other than centrally. The instructions are long and tightly spaced. Maybe spacing between paragraphs and only including instructions for the species sent? Being able to refrigerate for up to 3 weeks was a blessing, as shipping times vary due to the pandemic and thus if you are ordering for an event, it was great to order early. I wrapped the box in birthday paper, with a hole in the side, and no questions could be asked.It was a true surprise. I would have liked to put more specific shipping instructions in my order. The box was delivered to my front porch in 110 sunshine. I would have liked to have included: Deliver to carport, where it is shaded. Thank you for this experience!

I’ve really enjoyed the process! It was easy and I’m already on my second batch from the same kit. My first started to pinning in less than 6 days. I have recommended to friends and family.

Delicious. So much fun to watch these grow!

One of the best things about 2020 for me. Mushrooms I can grow at home!! I’m in love. Oyster mushrooms are hard to find in TN, but not anymore. They are so beautiful and delicious. Thanks so much for creating these dope kits. <3

Grass fed NY strip with goat cheese Chevre. Sautéed blue oyster mushrooms with garlic and shallots. All paired with a sour rye ale with boysenberries aged in oak barrels with ale aged in bourbon barrels. Super easy to grow and my first harvest was over 1.5 lbs. My box has just started pinning again!

Love this experience. Look what I grew!! Looking forward to growing more and more and more. Easy to do and delicious. Five star experience.

It worked!! Loved it

Definitely an awesome experience! Wasn't sure if I'd get a second harvest, but a little patience and persistence paid off! Recommend for people of all ages. No need to worry about buying a bunch of equipment or spending so much time researching, you'd swear you now had an honorary degree in mycology. Don't get me wrong, these kits will make you want to research mycology and all the cool variations that are out there, point being, if you follow the instructions, there's very little that can go wrong*. *Note; people living in warmer, arid environments, after removing the tent, you probably don't want to reduce your spritzing cycle too significantly, otherwise you'll get these little dried out spots that'll continue to grow but are hard as rocks.

Loving this blue oyster grow kit! So easy and fun. Ordering was easy, delivery was on time and customer service/support was responsive and helpful!

They grow so fast!!! This kit kept me entertained during pandemic!!! Talk about “sparking joy”, this kit truly is a joy. However, the second crop didn’t do very well. (Dried up) So, I cleaned it up and I am going for the 3rd crop! P.S I have a video made. https://youtu.be/fOw7f1rAios

made a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4012bMkwLoA got 17.5 oz for my 1st flush but realized I left the humidity tent on too long resulting in caps that were nowhere as big as they could have been. Also, the oysters did not need the overpowering flavor of bacon in my dish. 2nd flush came in strong with *much* bigger caps and still got 16 oz, and used a much more suitable white wine. Video to come on that one. Crossing my fingers for a 3rd flush now and thinking about going Lion's Mane next time. Thanks a lot!

What an amazing product! I purchased the Blue Oyster grow kit and after watering it for a few days they literally exploded from the box!! Not to mention they were delicious as well. Can't wait for my next batch.

I bought 2 of the blue oyster variety. I gave them to my step-dad and father-in-law for Fathers day. It was really cool watching thier progress. My father-in-law made shrimp Alfredo with his, and my step-dad did steak and white wine cream sauce. Both were amazing! There was enough left from both, that they were able to dry them for later. I wish I had some pictures, but my phone camera is broken. I highly recommend your products and will be buying from you again in the future. Also, they were shipped and arrived very quickly.

Fun to gtow, very tasty mushrooms!

Amazing!!! I got three harvests out of my shipment and they grew quickly right after I received my package!!!

I messed up the first harvest and didn’t remove the humidity tent quick enough so the caps didn’t develop quite right. But my second harvest of 512 grams came out beautifully. I sautéed them with eggs in the morning and added them to a Caesar salad in the evening. Great experience meddling in the fungi world.

Such a fun Father’s Day gift for my foodie hubby!

Whole experience was really cool. Had two growths so far, working on a third now. Will def purchase more!

This is the most fun science experiment that of foodie can have!!! I’ve just prepared the kit for the third growing cycle certain to be my largest yet! Love love!

So fun and easy to grow!! We used them in homemade ramen and they were perfect! Would definitely buy again!

I mean, look at these beauties. So delicious, and even more exciting to watch them grow!

Excellent product. Great experience.

Straightforward instructions, fun science project, delicious product! I also ordered one for my dad for Father's Day, and he loved it too! Try them with rosemary and Parmesan cheese!

they were beautiful, sadly , but we ate them. they were delicious. at the end, they grew by the hour!

What a way to start my time at home!! It was amazing to watch then eat my own creation!! I am having trouble getting the second cycle to pull through... I made some incredible Chicken Fried Blue Oyster meals multiple days in a row!! They were so good!! Really hoping the second round will come through cause I want more!!

This is my second batch, from my first mushroom box. When had concerns about the first batch (they didn’t look anything like the perfect blue lovelies on the website), the kind folks answered my questions about temperature & humidity, and assured me the mushrooms were fine to eat. One large mushroom risotto later, I was a total fan. This 2nd batch looks like the real thing (and will soon to become another tasty dish!)

Love these! Such a great texture and buttery..I’m obsessed!!

I had a very positive experience with my first run of oyster mushrooms. The volume and quality surprised me and the effort was minimal compared to more involved growing methods. I would highly recommend nearby naturals to anyone starting to grow and looking for a low barrier to entry and success.

I was very happy with the quality of your product

This was a gift for my dad, so no pictures. But both of my parents are enjoying the mushrooms. Dad made coq au vin with some the other day and said it was delicious. Great Father's Day present!

These were absolutely delicious! And grew exponentially larger than expected! We sautéed these carefully in butter, lemon, thyme, and salt. Then mixed with home made pasta tagliatelle style. Was absolute amazing! Highly recommend!
