Grey oysters are one of the easiest mushrooms to grow. They do love the colder weather and need misting a couple of times throughout the day. They are quite fast in growth and you can usually harvest the first mushrooms from the kit in under 2 weeks. Grey oyster mushrooms are medium to large in size with caps averaging 5-25 centimeters in diameter and have a very short or non-existent stem.
STORAGE AND PREPARATION
Grey oyster mushrooms have a short shelf life, so it is best to consume them as fresh as you can and store them in the refrigerator. Oyster mushrooms have a slightly chewy texture and are soft with a bittersweet aroma. When cooked, they have a mild and nutty, seafood-like flavor. Make sure you cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, then continue cooking until that liquid vaporizes, this can take from 20-30 minutes. Blue Oyster mushrooms can be used in a variety of dishes, but especially in soups and pasta.
