Enter the magical world of mushrooms and grow the wonderful oyster mushrooms at home!

The mushrooms are produced in batches.
Current status: The mushroom substrates are currently in production and will be available from the end of February.

Hats off to the big guy!

The oyster mushroom is here - and it's quite something. With its broad, fleshy-throated cap - which can even reach up to 15 cm in circumference - and a well-defined, short stalk, it amazes with both its size and its nutritional properties. It is very rich in umami flavor and is a treat for everyone's palate - regardless of their culinary preferences.

Healthy mushrooms - healthy body!

For many years, the health benefits of oyster mushrooms were unjustly neglected. Studies have shown that these tasty curiosities contain a good amount of fiber, vitamin B and essential minerals (iron, potassium, copper) - while maintaining a very balanced macronutrient profile with more than 20% protein and fiber and less than 1.5% fat.

We pack the fun into Fungi

Growing large portions of delicious gourmet mushrooms has never been easier. Thanks to the optimal growing conditions in our GreenBox, we guarantee fast and high-yielding harvests. What's more, with the right storage and care, each grow kit can be used more than once for even more mushroom fun.

Package contents

In each pack you will find a GreenBox-sized substrate filled with spores of the selected mushroom species. It has been specially developed for indoor cultivation using our smart indoor garden, the GreenBox.

Care and harvest

Start the growth cycle by placing the substrate in the empty GreenBox water tank, making an X-cut in the foil and spraying with water. We recommend doing this in the first few days after receiving the package to ensure optimal growth.

Need a nice spray bottle? - we've got you covered.

Set the GreenBox app to mushroom light mode - on automatically for 12 hours a day.

Spray the cutting two to three times a day (about 6-8 sprays per watering is enough). Young mushrooms will appear in about 4 to 10 days. In this case, do not spray water directly on the mushrooms, but spray the area around the outside of the fruiting bodies.

The oyster mushroom is ready for harvesting in about 10 to 14 days - as soon as the edges of the caps begin to flatten. The best way to harvest the mushroom is to hold the mushroom by the lower end and gently pull and turn it at the same time.

Keep the room temperature in the range of 12 to 21 degrees Celsius for optimal growth.

Storage

For best results, we recommend using the substrates shortly after receipt. The substrates can be stored unopened at room temperature for up to 7 days after arrival.

They can also be stored unopened in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

The freshly harvested oyster mushrooms should be kept refrigerated in a paper bag for no longer than 3-4 days - but they certainly taste best fresh.

The oyster mushroom is characterized by:

Unique flavor and texture profile
When cooked, they ooze with delicious umami flavor and offer a satisfying, slightly chewy bite. Given this and their size, they are an ideal ingredient for delicious chops or cutlets.

Tropical growing conditions
Make sure that the ambient temperature of the growing setup is between 12 and 21 degrees Celsius. Oyster side shoots grow at an average pace and are ready to harvest after around 10-14 days.

Weight-reducing macro profile
They have a very low calorie density and an extremely low fat content, making them an ideal choice for anyone who wants to stay in shape or is on a cholesterol-reduced diet.

Strong harvest
From the first harvest, you can prepare up to 0.5 kg of oyster mushrooms for cooking and eating. With proper care and refrigerated storage, it is possible to reuse the pack more than once (up to three times).

The benefits of mushrooms are manifold.

Aside from their culinary appeal, mushrooms offer an impressive range of health benefits.

They are a low-calorie food source that provides protein, fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin D and B vitamins) and minerals (including potassium and selenium).

Mushrooms are also known for their immune-boosting properties, their antioxidant content and their potential anti-inflammatory effects. Incorporating mushrooms into your diet can contribute to overall wellbeing and support a healthy lifestyle.

Any further questions?

It's as simple as it can be. To get started, place the mushroom pack in the empty water tank of the GreenBox, cut an X in the foil from above and spray it vigorously with water. It is not a problem if you also cut into the substrate when making the incision. This has no effect on your harvest.

Follow the instructions in the app for the optimal setting of the grow light (use the cold mushroom light for 12 hours).

Continue to spray the incision two to three times a day (about 6 - 8 sprays per watering are sufficient). Young mushrooms will appear in about 4 - 10 days.

Ideally, do not spray the water directly on the mushrooms, but spray the area around the outside of the fruiting bodies.

We strongly recommend starting your mushroom adventure with the rose mushroom, as it is the only substrate that cannot be stored in the fridge. Incidentally, it also grows the fastest of all and is ready to harvest after 10 days at the latest.

For best results, we generally recommend using the substrates shortly after receipt.

Otherwise, the substrates can be stored unopened at room temperature for up to 7 days after arrival.

All packs except the Rose Sideling can be stored unopened in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks after arrival.

While the first harvest will likely be the largest, you can do more than one growing cycle with a single mushroom pack. In most cases, you can look forward to 2 - 3 harvests if stored properly.

Please note: We guarantee at least one harvest. The later harvest depends more on the growing environment and the care of the kit!

Let the substrates rest for 5 - 8 days:

- Make sure to remove all residues of the previous harvest and small pieces of mushrooms left on the substrate.

- Fold the plastic flaps back down so that the substrate is covered by the foil again.

- Both the lemon mushroom and the spoon mushroom substrate can be stored in the refrigerator (at a temperature of around 3 degrees Celsius).

- It is best to store the rose side shoot substrate in a dark place at a temperature of 9 - 11 degrees Celsius or room temperature if you cannot provide this temperature range.

- For clean storage and to prevent the substrate from drying out, we recommend storing the substrate with the X-cut facing downwards in the empty water tank. The white filter on the foil of the substrate should always have at least a slight air supply.

After 5 - 8 days, take the water tank of the GreenBox and fill it one third full with cold water. Place the substrate in the water with the X-cut facing downwards and leave it to soak for 12 hours. Please make sure that the substrate is about halfway in the water, as the mushrooms need a constant supply of oxygen.

Take the substrate out of the water tank and leave it face down (i.e. X-cut downwards) for 30 minutes to allow excess water to drain away.

Finally, you can place your substrate in the GreenBox and start growing mushrooms again. Spray the substrate as in the first growth cycle. This time, give the GreenBox a little more time (up to 2 weeks) until the new mushroom babies appear.

A good supply of oxygen is important for the successful cultivation of mushrooms. It should therefore be in a place that is well ventilated.

In addition, normal room temperatures (18 to 30 degrees Celsius for the lemon mushroom and the rose mushroom, 12 to 21 degrees Celsius for the oyster mushroom - and 15 to 25 degrees Celsius for the Italian oyster mushroom) are important for a successful harvest

The use of the GreenBox tent is recommended until the first small mushrooms start to grow. The mushrooms need high humidity in order to form their first fruiting bodies. This is easier to achieve with the tent.

When the first small mushrooms appear, it is advisable to at least open the tent or, even better, to remove it completely! Even during the rest of the growth cycle.

This is important to ensure a good supply of oxygen and therefore good growth.

Use the GreenBox mushroom mode (via the GreenBox app), maintain normal room temperatures (18 to 30 degrees Celsius for the lemon mushroom and the rose mushroom, 12 to 21 degrees Celsius for the oyster mushroom - and 15 to 25 degrees Celsius for the Italian oyster mushroom) and spray them regularly with fine water. A small and clean spray bottle is recommended for this, if you don't have one, you can buy one here.

It is advisable to use the GreenBox tent cover to maintain a higher humidity, which the mushrooms like. Leave the tent open occasionally to allow air to circulate around them. The room where you place your GreenBox should be well ventilated.

Our mushroom substrate is made in such a way that there should be a small gap between the foil and the substrate after placing it in the GreenBox. If for some reason the foil sticks to the substrate and there is no gap, you can fold the foil a little. This will allow the young mushrooms to grow better.

In most cases, the mushrooms are ready to harvest about 4-5 days after the small mushrooms appear. Harvest your mushrooms preferably when the edge of the cap starts to flatten. When you see a white 'dust' around your mushrooms, it is high time to harvest. When oyster mushrooms have reached a certain level of maturity, they will drop their spores, which is completely normal. We recommend harvesting just before the spores drop, but you can still eat the mushrooms afterwards. It is not necessary to wash the mushrooms before eating them.

The substrate contains a sterilized mixture of sawdust, wheat bran and water. The packs are inoculated with a mycelium of the selected mushroom variety to transform the barren land into a future mushroom jungle. All organic, free from harmful chemicals, GMOs & co.

Once it's time for the next mushroom pack, you can safely dispose of the substrate in the organic waste. We strongly recommend that you recycle it as a plant substrate or turn it into compost.
