Just tried this recipe on my freshly harvested pink oysters and man is it fire - and that's coming from someone who doesn't like mushrooms and did this for a class project
Sounds like a success!
I’ve just been ripping up my lions mane into pretty little pieces but I’m now so excited to try pressing and cooking them like little steaks! They’re my favorite mushroom. My lions mane and pink oyster kits have just started to pin and I’m positively gleeful!
The timing of the salt.... that’s gold right there. Hmmmm that must taste so good. Scoop on the rice with some sautéed spinach in that deglazed pan.. any or all of those tasty treats.
Yep, we're always hungry in this business!
@@NorthSpore no wonder, everything looks so delicious!
Just harvested my first flush of pink oyster and I’m trying a barbecue recipe to have with my family for dinner tomorrow :)
We got the blue oyster kit, and we just had our first flush! The kit has been great for us. It was fun watching the pins grow.
The lions mane mushroom looks so good! Can’t wait to start my kit!
Let us know if you have any questions!
Me too I’m watching bc I just got my kit in the mail!
Oh the mushrooms have a nicer flavor if you sauté some kind of onion/leek/shallot before adding. It just works magic. Follow up with a bit of Parmesan cheese for best results.
The tortilla press is fantastic!
Already ordered Shittake and Pink Oyster sawdust spawn and now having researched more Im going to get the Lion's Mane and Wine Cap I HAVE TO HAVE THEM You guys gave me the confidence to know I can do this!
Fantastic! Making it less daunting is precisely our goal.
I love this. Don’t forget both oysters and lions mane shred nicely. Yellows and lions mane shred the best to me. Mushrooms is my new vegan option
I love mushrooms! I could literally eat them everyday.
These things are the coolest! I loved my lion’s mane and they make great gifts
Thanks for your support!
Thanks for this idea!!! My mom's scared she getting Alzheimers cuz she's forgetting things and my great grandma had it. So this will be her Christmas present
Got this for Christmas and I can say yes, as a mushroom lover, this was the perfect Christmas gift 🎁 🎄
Great content!
Thanks for your support!
I grew up a long time ago,lol.I remember Morel Mushrooms,throw them in a pan with butter(only butter),the taste was soooo great.I see all the seasoning done to the Oyster Mushrooms,I must say that definately deminished my newly found interest.
Morels are so good! Oysters are good too and so much easier to grow!
Can't wait for the spray and grow kits to be back in stock. Any idea when that'll be?
Our kits are in stock but on preorder with estimated fulfillment times around 1-2 weeks.
Hello I'm just about to harvest my golden oysters from my spray and grow kit. If I don't want to cook right away, what is the preferred method to keep them fresh for a couple of days? Ziplock bag and refrigerator or freezer?
For short term storage, refrigerate them in a breathable container. For long term storage, cook and freeze them or dehydrate them!
Could you cut the same pattern on the back side, or sides of the box, and get similar results as the front of the box?
Yes, all the sizes just reveal the same thing. You don't need to cut a new opening to get more mushrooms. In fact, we advise not to do that.
I've purchased the golden and blue oyster kits and they are currently in the pinning stage. My friend and I plan on pickling them. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Ohh, that sounds fantastic. Suggestions, please!
How do I make my harvested mushrooms into powder, like I would buy online?
How long do the harvested mushrooms last before eating? Can you freeze them?
You can dehydrate and grind them. Mushrooms last in the fridge for 3-5 days in a breathable container. You can freeze them once cooked.
My apartment stays at 69F. What would I best be suited to grow? Pink Oysters, Golden Oysters, or Lion's Mane? I want to grow pink oysters, but I want a successful yield.
Hi there! That's a suitable temperature for pretty much any of the kits. While the pink oysters have a preference for warmer temperatures, they'd certainly still grow!
I misunderstood the instructions and only cut the X in the plastic, not the stuff inside. How might this affect the final grow?
I think you were probably all set!
Can you ship to Colombia?? I would love to buy your products
We don't ship live products internationally outside of the US and Canada unfortunately! Our tools and books are available to you, however.
Come on, one more LIKE for 100 ! Lets go garden nerds!
Thanks for your support!
Are these one and done kits or will the kits continue to grow?
You can get multiple crops!
Probably a dumb question, but kind of new to the mycology thing. I could likely harvest spores from a kit and try growing my own after harvest, right? I know it requires some know how and a sterile environment, but I’m just trying to learn as well as eat as much as possible lol.
You should skip the spores and go to tissue culture. Either plates or liquid culture are best. You can even take a piece of oyster and spread it's mycelium on an egg carton.
@@NorthSpore awesome! Super excited to try this soon.
@@DyingxdawnI'm a year late but I literally just took their spray and grow kit after I got two flushes of Lions Mane and broke it up in a bucket with sawdust and now I have several mushrooms coming out of the holes.
Mhmm
Thank you. What about those lil knats, I’ll fkying bugs that keep kill my mushrooms?
If you keep your temps right, space clean and put out traps, they can kept under control!
Do they grow back after harvesting
Yep, 2-3 flushes is normal if cared from properly!
Have you figured out a morel kit ?
Nope
@@NorthSpore is it because morels are wild and difficult to mimic ideal conditions ?
How much did those mushrooms weigh? Can we expect to grow at least a pound of mushrooms with a grow kit?
Hello! The yield depends greatly on how much care you put into maintaining your kit! It also varies significantly based on species to species and growing environment. The species we carry are all vigorous growers and typically produce a first flush of 1/2 lb-2lbs. Most kits will produce between 2-3 flushes of mushrooms.
@@NorthSpore Thank you!!!
Hello, fellow mushroom grower here. I've been looking forward to diversify the strains of mushroom that i grow. I live here in the Philippines and it is close to impossible to get cultures or spawns of other mushrooms. I'm only limited to paddy straw and oyster mushrooms. I've seen hope with online shops but do you guys think the spawns can reach me here in the philippines? I'm looking forward for buying almond mushrooms and others. Please reply and thank you.
Unfortunately, we're unable to ship most of our products to countries other than Canada, we apologize! Oysters are a great option if you have access to them, however!
hmm I have a question , dont we need environment humidity around 90 % for oysters? just spraying is ok?!
It is usually enough to maintain humidity levels on the surface of your kit but a humidity tent helps too!
@@NorthSpore tnx ❤️
What about the spores released, could that cause problems for people with asthma? Shouldn't it be in some sort grow chamber
Yes but only if you had a handful of kits and were confined with them. One kit in a kitchen, for example, with good airflow won't increase the spore load much.
Mmhmmm.
How much water do I spray?
This depends on a number of factors such as temp and ambient humidity, but generally about a third of the little sprayer each time will do it.
I just bought one of the kits and it’s saying it’s being sent to somewhere completely different
Please email us so we can assist further!
After I harvest my Pink Oysters, can I start over again?
Yes! You should be able to get 2-3 harvests from the Pink kit.
Why are there only openings on the front? Doesn't the whole substrate have spores? Why not open at least the back as well to harvest even more? Or can you?
By opening it from multiple locations, the block doesn't focus its growth as well and loses moisture faster.
@@NorthSpore Ahh ok. Thanks. Makes sense
Using a Tortilla maker...interesting.
Plenty of options for pressing!
The lions mane looks like a meat patty
HI i have 2 questions, 1. how much it cost each ? 2. we can get 1 time harvest or how many time we can grow? you guys dont say no where in vdo. i will appreciated.
Spray and Grow kits are $28. Most kits produce between 2-3 flushes of mushrooms. Once your kit is spent indoors, you can move it outdoors if the weather is warm enough to potentially get more mushrooms! We have a video on how to do that, too!
my second flush is pinkish - is that ok and edible still?
A Japanese scientist figured out that lions mane may help with Alzheimer’s and I’m so gonna try this cause I have that my family.. in there last year of their life they always get Alzheimer’s
