Our Pink Oyster mushroom grow kits provide delicious and nutritious oyster mushrooms, that you can grow at home. 

If you have ever wanted to grow your own mushrooms, this is the perfect starter kit for anyone fungi lovers based in the UK.

YME does the hard part, and you can do the fun part! We have incubated this kit at our farm for 2 weeks, so every kit we sell is ready to produce mushrooms straight away. Just cut a hole and watch them grow! Full instructions are included with every kit.

This 3kg kit should produce at least 500g of the freshest mushrooms money can buy over a couple of flushes.

The pink oyster Pleurotus djamour, originates from the tropics and boasts stunning shades of deep and pastel pink. The mushrooms when cooked are more aromatic in taste to the winter varieties, and develop a light umami and seafood flavour flavour when sauteed or roasted. Oyster mushrooms are generally a good source of protein fibre and vitamin D. Oyster mushrooms naturally produce lovastatin which can help reduce cholesterol.

All orders are posted every Tuesday.  Please let us know via email if you need something shipped ASAP

How does the kit work?

  • Place the box in a room with natural light

  • Cut out perforated hole in the side 

  • Spray with water 1-2 times per day

  • Sit back and watch the mushrooms grow from the box

Mushroom growing can be difficult for beginners so we've done the hard part, leaving you to reap the tasty harvests. Unlike some other mushroom companies, the complete process from spore to kit is done by us right here at our indoor farm in Leeds.

Our role:

  • We pasteurise a mixture of waste coffee grounds, straw, and soya husks to remove any competing fungi and bacteria that could cause contamination.

  • We then inoculate this mixture with oyster mushroom spawn (our fungi starter culture) and fill the growing bags which you find inside your kits. 

  • The bags are then incubated for about two weeks in a warm, dark room where the mushroom spawn digests and spreads across the mixture in the bag.

  • This happens through the formation of mycelium (the white/creamy stuff seen in the bags) which is the non-mushroom part of fungi. 

  • Once we see the signs that the mycelium is happy and healthy, we package the kits up and post them out immediately.

 

We are so confident that each of our kits will produce mushrooms that we offer a YME Grow Guarantee - if your kit doesn't produce we'll send out a new one free of charge. There are more extensive instructions on the back of every box, including how to get successive crops.

Storage and Postage

    Storage 
    • The grow kits are living organisms and are ready to start growing straight away however the kit can be stored for up to 3 weeks if refrigerated/stored in a cool dark place (10C maximum).
    • Please note the date stamped on the bottom of the kit -this is an advised 'open by' date. The mushrooms are likely to start growing themselves out of the box at some point after this date. However if this date has passed the kit is still perfectly good to use and any mushrooms are safe to eat.
    • We guarantee all kits produce at least 1 crop of mushrooms (usually 2-3 harvests).
    • Please contact us at if you need any help growing your mushrooms.
