About this 3kg Kit
Complete Kit: Everything you need is included, just spray water and follow the simple instructions.
This kit uses a special Master’s Mix, a blend of sawdust, soy pellets, and water. It’s inoculated with about 300 grams of rye or millet grain spawn to give your mushrooms the best start.
We keep things simple and affordable by sending you a fresh, made-to-order bag, just like real mushroom farms use. No fancy boxes, no sitting in cold storage for weeks. This helps keep your cost down by $10; we pass that saving directly to you. We call these kits ‘almost ready to fruit’.
Snow White Oysters are celebrated for their pristine white caps, mild-sweet flavor, and firm texture. Most kits produce large, elegant clusters within 1–2 weeks and can yield 1.5kg of mushrooms per block. They’re perfect for beginners and flourish in cooler, consistent conditions.
Humidity: Keep above 85% RH—mist 2–3 times daily.
Light: Provide indirect light to support healthy cap development.
Air: Ensure good fresh air exchange to prevent CO₂ buildup.
Snow White Oyster Grow Kit – Elegant & Consistent
The Snow White Oyster delivers flawless, bright-white clusters that are not only beautiful but incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Fruiting rapidly (1–2 weeks to first harvest), these mushrooms offer a delicate flavor and firm texture that stands up beautifully in soups, pastas, and on their own.
Step-by-step Instructions & Post-Harvest Care
IMPORTANT— Snow Whites prefer cool conditions—ensure your setup stays within 10–18 °C for best results.
Step 1 – Let It Grow
*Take the bag out of its packaging.
*Stand it upright so the white filter patch is unrestricted, this is where the mycelium in the bag breathes from. Do not cut the bag for fruiting yet.
*Please keep it away from direct sunlight, windows, fans, AC, or a wardrobe.
Note: Full colonisation for Snow white oyster blocks can take about 2 weeks fro the dat eof inoculation mentioned on the label-depending on temperature ,wait until the block is solid white before inducing fruiting.
Need to Wait?
If you’re not ready to start fruiting after full colonisation, you can store the bag in the fridge for up to a month . Do not store it in the fridge until the bag is fully colonised(white).
Step 2 – Fruiting & Harvest
Once colonised, begin fruiting:
1. Cut: To prepare your side-fruiting mushroom growing kit, start by cutting a 10–12 cm “X” into the plastic on the side of the block, where the substrate touches the bag. This is where the mushrooms will fruit from. After making the cut, gently press out any trapped air inside the bag. Then, take the loose, empty upper portion of the bag (since the block only fills the lower half) and fold or roll it neatly over the top of the block. Secure it in place with tape so it doesn’t hang down or cover the fruiting area. This keeps the cut area exposed to fresh air, encouraging healthy mushroom growth from the side of the block.
2. Mist: Lightly mist the cut area 2–3 times daily and keep humidity high.Stop misting when the baby mushrooms tarts to come out. Constant misting is better than heavy misting.
3. Harvest: Mushrooms appear within 1–2 weeks. Harvest when caps are flat by gently twisting at the base.
Flushes: Expect 2–3 flushes. After each harvest, remove all remaining fruit bodies, allow the block to rest for 3–4 days, then soak it in cold water ( by exposing the cut portion to the water in a bowl for 2–3 hours before resuming misting to promote new growth
Common Mistakes to Avoid
High Temperatures: Going above 22 °C can slow growth and discolor caps.
Low Humidity: Results in dry, split caps.
Poor Air Exchange: Causes long stems and small caps.
Strong Light: Direct sun can dry the block and disrupt pinning.
💡 Tip: Keep the environment cool, humid, and ventilated to preserve those snow-white clusters and tasty texture.
What to do if pins form inside the bag
Don’t worry. Just ignore the internal pins. Gently fold the top of the bag to push out excess air, cut a small “X” in the side of the bag (where you want the mushrooms to grow), and begin misting that spot daily. Mushrooms will start fruiting from that cut. The internal pins will eventually be aborted naturally, as they don’t have space to grow.
Checkout out our fine Misting Spray Bottle to produce tiny droplets and keep humidity high. The size of droplets formed can easily be evaporated , this constant evaporation signals mycelium to pin.
What do mushrooms need to grow healthy
Primary requirement -Mushrooms require high humidity, proper temperature(each mushrooms have their own preferred temperature as mentioned above) and airflow (not direct).
Secondary requirement-some overhead light or ambient light( No direct sunlight). They also need a clean area to grow in.If the place you are trying to grow in like a garage is dirty or very windy, the block may contaminate with competing organisms.
Mushrooms are sensitive to these conditions and may not grow, grow deformed or not grow at all or worse contaminate.
Spore warning
All mushrooms to propagate produce spores. Some people may be allergic to spores, so be cautious where you grow them and with experience you would know the correct time to harvest them so they do not sporulate.Harvesting earlier as teh caps start to flatten will help you avoid the spores.
