Frequently Asked Questions

Many customers who buy from us are unfamiliar with gourmet mushrooms, and are often unsure as to how to prepare and cook them. 

The good news is that they can be prepared the same way one would enjoy button or cremini mushrooms.  

Simply use a dry or slightly damp towel to wipe off any debris (don't wash), chop or tear into bite-sized pieces, and cook any way you like, such as frying/sauteeing in butter or oil.   Our mushrooms can also be roasted, barbecued, dehydrated, prepared in an air fryer, and added to soups, stews, or as toppings on pizzas.  One of our favourite ways to enjoy them is in omelets.

If you want some examples to get you started, please visit our recipes page (coming soon!)

You can use all of the mushrooms, including the stems.  Be sure to remove any substrate from the base, if still attached.  

All of our grow kits can be grown indoors, and the blue and pink oyster kits can also be grown outdoors. 

For detailed instructions, please check out our Spray and Grow Kits  and Outdoor Grow Kits pages.

For some of them, you can! Both the Blue and Pink Oyster kits can be grown outside. 

Please see our outdoor kits page for more information.
