Black King Oyster Mushrooms - The Exotic Addition to Your Menu
Black King Oysters are scrumptious and versatile mushrooms that add a welcoming delight to any meal. The flavor is reminiscent of your classic Oyster Mushrooms, but with large fatty stems like the King Oyster. Cut into lengthwise slices they can be prepared into vegan bacon that will even make the most committed carnivores think twice. Cut stems crossways tomake sweet, tender, vegan scallops that will have your mouth watering like Pavlov's dogs.

Prefer Cooler Temperatures
When cultivating Black King Oyster mushrooms, temperature control is key. Ideally, these mushrooms prefer temperatures ranging from 10° to 21°C degrees. A couple of degrees difference may be acceptable, but for optimal growth and pinning, Black King Oyster mushrooms really thrive at 21 degrees or below. Keep these conditions in mind when using our Black King Oyster mushroom grow kit to ensure a successful and abundant harvest.
Step-by-step Instructions
After some time you will begin to see small dense clumps of mycelium developing at the cut. This is where it gets fun! These little clumps will slowly inflate over 7-14 days into full-sized Black King Oyster Mushrooms
How Do I Grow It?
- Step 1
- Step 2
- Step 3
Place your block on its side and where the block presses against the plastic, take a sharp clean knife and make a 10-12cm cut along this part of the bag (you could cut an “x” shape or a simple line).
Place your sliced bag in a humid part of your home (near the kitchen sink or bathroom). Make sure it is kept away from direct sunlight, and keep it well hydrated. Do this by spraying the outside of your block, over the sliced area, with water at least once per day but preferably 2-3 times.
The mushrooms can take 2-6 weeks to fruit, but will usually appear within 5-7 days. Once they appear, keep watch, they grow very fast and will be ready to harvest in 7-21 days. Harvest them all at once by gently grasping the mushrooms at the base, twist and pull.
