Follow these simple steps to start growing your Blue Oyster mushrooms:

1. Storage: Refrigerate the syringe upon receipt to preserve the mycelium (up to 2 months).
2. Preparation: Shake the syringe thoroughly to mix the mycelium evenly.
3. Inoculation: Inject the liquid culture into sterilized grain bags, sawdust, or another suitable substrate using a self-healing injection port.
4. Environment: Place the inoculated substrate in a warm, clean space to promote colonization.
5. Fruiting: Once colonized, move the substrate to a high-humidity environment with indirect light to trigger fruiting.

With the right setup, your Blue Oyster mushrooms will be ready to harvest in no time.

Here are some tips to ensure a successful Blue Oyster mushroom harvest:

• Ideal Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65–75°F (18–24°C) for optimal growth.
• Humidity: Blue Oysters need high humidity (80–90%) during fruiting to prevent drying out.
• Light: Provide indirect natural or artificial light to support proper development.
• Substrate Options: These mushrooms grow well on straw, coffee grounds, hardwood sawdust, or paper-based substrates.
• Quick Results: Expect the substrate to colonize in 7–10 days and fruit in 2–3 weeks under the right conditions.

With proper care, Blue Oyster mushrooms are easy to grow and provide multiple flushes.
