King Oyster mushrooms have been celebratated in Asia for centuries due to their unique culinary qualities and potential health benefits. Originally grown in regions of the Mediterranean and in East Asia, King Oysters are known for their meaty texture and high nutritional content, making them a staple in many traditional dishes.
King Oyster mushrooms have delicious, umami-rich flavor and contain compounds called ergothioneine and beta-glucans, which act as antioxidants and support the body’s immune system. Additionally, they are a good source of fiber, B vitamins, and essential minerals, contributing to heart health and overall wellness.
King Oyster mushrooms are celebrated in the kitchen with their thick, dense stems, which develop a rich, savory flavor when cooked. They are ideal for grilling, roasting, or slicing.
The kit comes with everything you need in one convenient package: a pre-colonised fruiting block that is ready to go right out of the box—no need for messy inoculations or waiting periods.
- PREPARE THE BAG: Open the top of the bag or make small slits on the sides for airflow, keeping the bag moist to encourage mushroom growth.
- MAINTAIN HUMIDITY: Maintain a humidity-controlled environment at 16-21°C for best results—cooler temperatures help develop thicker, meatier stems.
- HUMIDITY-CONTROLLED CHAMBER: For optimal growth, place the fruiting block in a chamber like a MonoTub or Martha tent, as this will help to maintain optimum fruiting conditions
100% Organic
The proprietary substrate blend is a mix of optimally hydrated millet grains, milo grains, hardwood pellets, soy hulls and gypsum. This mixture is carefully hydrated to field capacity and sterilised in a computer-controlled steam autoclave for 2 hours at 121°C. The result is an optimal 6:1 substrate to spawn ratio. This is then inoculated with our own Shiitake liquid culture, the substrate providing the perfect nutrient rich environment for mycelium, ensuring rapid colonisation, large yields, and minimal risk of contamination.
Please use the Shiitake Grow Kit soon after receiving. If not using it right away, store in the fridge which should last at least 3 months.
