Here's a simple guide on how to grow grey oyster mushroom:
- Purchase a mushroom growing kit or spores online or from a local supplier.
- Prepare the growing medium, which can be a mix of straw and sawdust, or purchase a pre-made substrate.
- Inoculate the growing medium with the grey oyster mushroom spores or spawn, following the instructions provided with your kit.
- Place the inoculated medium in a plastic bag or container and keep it in a dark, humid environment, such as a closet or basement.
- After a few weeks, small grey oyster mushroom pins will begin to form.
- Once the mushrooms reach maturity, typically around 2-3 weeks, harvest them by gently twisting and pulling them off the growing medium.
- Repeat the process by adding new spores or spawn to the remaining growing medium to continue growing more grey oyster mushrooms.
Growing grey oyster mushrooms can be a fun and rewarding experience, and with a little bit of effort, you can enjoy fresh, nutritious mushrooms right from your own home!
