Grow-it-Yourself Elm Oyster Mushroom Kit, a Gourmet Mushroom Gardening Treat
The Grow-it-Yourself Elm Oyster Mushroom Growing Kit produces huge masses of delicious mushrooms indoors. The elm oyster (Hypsizygus ulmarius) has a rich, meaty flavor. Many of our customers like to grill them and serve with steaks or burgers. It also makes a great creamed soup, or as an h'ors d'oeuvre, just sauteed until browned in oil or butter. They tend to produce really large caps great for slicing like thick bacon. You rarely find them in the market but you can easily grow them yourself.  The kit includes dry substrate ingredients, live mushroom spawn, a growing bag, and complete instructions. You provide some coffee grounds, hydrogen peroxide (available at grocery and drug stores), and water. By growing your own from scratch you save 40% or more over comparable pre-mixed kits, and save on shipping (and carbon footprint) too! Makes a full six-pound substrate block.  NOTE: spawn has a limited shelf life. Plan to start it within 2 weeks of receipt.
