First grow is guaranteed on all kits!
Grow your own Blue 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!
Blue oyster (King blue, Pleurotus ostreatus)
Flavor/texture: Complex, hearty, meaty, earthy
This oyster mushroom variety is the highest yielding strain available and yields some seriously cool looking clusters.
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. It's also compatible with our oyster mushroom expansion kit, offering a more diverse cultivation experience and a couple more harvests of those delicious blues!
Our current processing time (preparing and packing the live organism for shipping) is about 6 business days. We can only ship on Mondays and Tuesdays(and sometimes Wednesdays) to avoid overheating/mistreatment in transit over the weekend.
The shipping time you choose at checkout applies to the time it takes for the carrier to deliver it after they have picked it up from the farm.

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!
Jerry M.
Love this experience. Look what I grew!! Looking forward to growing more and more and more. Easy to do and delicious. Five star experience.
Ari C.
It worked!! Loved it
Nicholas M.
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!
Jessica S.
Amazing!!! I got three harvests out of my shipment and they grew quickly right after I received my package!!!
Robert D.
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!
Samuel C.
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!

Gwendolyn K.
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!
Karen K.

Tyler C.
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!)
Osunlade O.
Love these! Such a great texture and buttery..I’m obsessed!!
Nick M.
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.
Dennis E.
I was very happy with the quality of your product
Stephanie L.
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!
John N.
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!
