Blue/ Pearl Oyster Mushroom Block Kit

Grow your own Blue Oyster mushrooms at home with this beginner-friendly kit. Just mist with water, give them some fresh air, and in no time you’ll be harvesting clusters of beautiful mushrooms right from your kitchen.

Why Blue/Pearl Oysters?

Blue Oyster mushrooms are striking to look at—when young, their caps show a rich blue hue that gradually softens to silvery gray as they mature. They grow in big, layered clusters that look like fans stacked on top of each other.

The flavor is mild, earthy, and savory, making them versatile in the kitchen. They sauté quickly, cook down to a meaty texture, and pair well with everything from stir-fries to pastas. Plus, Oysters are among the fastest and most reliable mushrooms to grow at home.

With a little daily care—mainly misting and ensuring some airflow—you’ll be harvesting fresh mushrooms in under two weeks.

Timeline and Growth Cycle of Blue/Pearl Oyster Mushrooms

1. Spore germination – starts at week 0.

2. Mycelium growth – develops over 1–2 weeks (fast compared to other species).

3. Primordia (pinhead) formation – typically appears around days 10–14.

4. Young fruiting bodies – grow rapidly by days 12–16.

5. Mature fruiting bodies – ready for harvest as early as days 18–21.

6. Spore release – occurs shortly after full maturity; best to harvest just before this stage for peak flavor and shelf life.
