Healthy mushrooms - healthy body!
For many years, the health benefits of oyster mushrooms have been unfairly neglected. Studies have shown that these tasty curiosities contain a good amount of fiber, vitamin B and essential minerals (iron, potassium, copper) - and at the same time have a very balanced macronutrient profile with more than 20% protein and fiber and less than 1.5% fat.
We put the fun in fungi
Growing large portions of delicious gourmet mushrooms has never been so easy. 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.

Care and harvest
Care and harvest
We recommend starting with the Pink Oyster Mushroom, as it is the only variety that cannot be stored in the refrigerator. Make an X-cut in the foil and spray it with water. We recommend doing this in the first few days after receiving the package to ensure optimal growth.
Do you need a nice spray bottle ? - we have one ready for you.
Set the GreenBox app to mushroom light mode - automatically switched on for 12 hours a day.
The oyster mushrooms are ready to harvest as soon as the edges of the caps spread out flat.
This takes place at different times depending on the variety, provided the required temperature conditions are met:
- Pink Oyster Mushroom: harvest in 7-10 days at an ambient temperature of 18-30 degrees Celsius.
- Golden Oyster MushroomHarvest in 10-20 days at an ambient temperature of 18-30 degrees Celsius .
- Italian Oyster MushroomHarvest after 10-20 days at an ambient temperature of 15-25 degrees Celsius .
- Pearl Oyster MushroomHarvest after 10-14 days at an ambient temperature of 12-21 degrees Celsius .

Oyster mushrooms are characterized by:
Unique taste and texture profile
When cooked, they are slightly sweet and have a pleasantly soft and slightly chewy consistency, making them an ideal meat substitute for a plant-based diet. They can easily replace a chicken fillet in any recipe.
Tropical growing conditions
The ambient temperature of the GreenBox must be between 18-30 °C, 12-21 °C or 15-25 °C, depending on the variety.
Weight reducing macro profile
They have a very low calorie density and extremely low fat content, making them an ideal choice for those who want to stay in shape or opt for a low cholesterol 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, antioxidant content and potential anti-inflammatory effects. Incorporating mushrooms into your diet can contribute to overall wellbeing and support a healthy lifestyle.
Why is growing mushrooms at home so much fun?

Cooler than your average mushroom
Due to the very short shelf life and difficult transportation, it is almost impossible (or very expensive) to get this type of mushroom in regular stores.
Too easy not to try
We promise that the combination of GreenBox and oyster mushroom package is the easiest and most trivial way to grow your own edible mushrooms.
Nothing to add
We are pleased to inform you that all our mushroom packets are completely free from additives, GMOs, pesticides and other chemicals.
Know what you eat
Our mushroom packages are prepared and inoculated in the EU laboratories in compliance with all necessary safety precautions.
Any more questions?
It's as simple as it can be. To get started, place the mushroom package 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 will have 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 onto the mushrooms, but spray the area around the outside of the fruiting bodies.
We strongly recommend starting your mushroom adventure with the Pink Oyster 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 Pink Oyster Mushroom can be stored unopened in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks after arrival.
While the first harvest will probably 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 correctly.
Please note: We guarantee at least one harvest. The later harvest depends more on the growing environment and the care of the kit!
Leave the substrates to rest for 5 - 8 days:
- Make sure to remove all remnants 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 substrate of the lemon and the spoon-shaped side shoot 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.
Remove the substrate from 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.
Normal room temperatures (18 to 30 degrees Celsius for Golden Oyster Mushroom & Pink Oyster Mushroom and 15 to 25 degrees Celsius for Italian Oyster Mushroom) are also 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! Also during the rest of the growth cycle.
This is important to ensure a good supply of oxygen and thus good growth.
Use the GreenBox mushroom mode (via the GreenBox app), maintain normal room temperatures (18 to 30 degrees Celsius for the Golden Oyster Mushroom & Pink Oyster Mushroom and 15 to 25 degrees Celsius for 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 in which you place your GreenBox should be well ventilated.
Our mushroom substrate is manufactured in such a way that there should be a small gap between the foil and the substrate after insertion into the GreenBox. If for some reason the film sticks to the substrate and there is no gap, you can fold the film slightly. 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.
As soon as it is time for the next mushroom pack, you can dispose of the substrate in the organic waste without hesitation. We strongly recommend that you recycle it as a plant substrate or turn it into compost.
