Gourmet Mushroom Grow Kit
Princess of Pearl Oyster Grow Kit
The all-rounder of the range. Fruits across a broad temperature range and finishes in a soft pearl colour.
When conditions and care follow our instructions, we guarantee your first flush. Many growers get a second, and if you're lucky, a third.
Unpack it. Mist it. Watch it grow.
A quick walkthrough for setup, first harvest, and getting a second flush going.
This guide covers both our Princess of Pearl and Pink Oyster kits.
Know your Princess of Pearl kit
5-7 days. Start this one straight away for best results.
18-25°C, the broadest range of the three. Comfortable in most Australian homes.
Your first flush yields enough for a meal for 1-2 people. Expect 2, sometimes 3 flushes in total, each noticeably smaller than the one before it.
Not ready to start? Pop it in the fridge. This puts your kit to sleep until you're ready to grow it, or gift it.
It starts out white, passes through a striking blue, and settles into a soft pearl finish as it matures.

01
Prepare your kit
Open the box and remove the grow bag. Cut open the window on the front of the box, then cut along the X on the back of the bag. Handle it gently as you place it back, lining the cut up behind the window. Keep it somewhere clean, with indirect light, at room temperature.

02
Hydrate, care and watch them grow
Spray the substrate lightly until damp, not soaking. Close the X loosely to hold humidity in, and mist 2-3 times a day. Once mushrooms have pinned, mist around them, never directly onto them, they don't like it and it can damage the caps.
-
03
Harvest
Pick just before the caps fully flatten, while the edges are still curled under, usually 4-8 days after pinning, once the pearl colour is showing through. Twist and pull the whole cluster at the base, or cut with a knife.

04
Reset for the next flush
Remove any leftover stems and tape the original X closed. Cut a new X on another side of the bag, place it back with the new opening behind the window, and keep misting as before.
Why we love them
Easy to love, easy to cook with
Princess of Pearl is velvety, savoury, and mild, the kind of mushroom that pairs with almost anything. It's the all-rounder in the range: easy to cook with, easy to love, and forgiving if you're still finding your feet in the kitchen.
