Pink Oyster - Mushroom Growing Kit

Pink Oyster mushrooms were first cataloged by botanist Georg Eberhard Rumphius under the name Agaricus djamor in the 1600s. It was later transferred to the genus Pleurotus by Karel Bernard Boedijn in 1959 and has since been known as Pleurotus djamor.

While they taste bitter raw, the Pink Oyster mushroom's flavor transforms into something truly lovely and bacon-ish when cooked. Savor their distinct and vibrant taste, adding a splash of color and culinary excitement to your festive dishes.

These kits were developed as a way for people to learn a little more about growing mushrooms than your standard mushroom kits will teach you, and no special equipment is required. This kit includes a 5mL mushroom culture, instructions, a glossary of mycology terms, and a fungi word search.

The instructions cover two ways of growing them - the first way being to grow them in a bag of brown rice on your kitchen counter, the second way is to grow them in a bucket of straw.  There is enough culture included to try both methods.  Regardless of your growing medium of choice, these are fascinating to grow and delightful to cook with.
