Black Pearl Mushroom Log

Rich, savoury and satisfyingly meaty, the Black Pearl Oyster mushroom is prized for its firm texture and deep umami flavour. Naturally nutritious and wonderfully versatile, it makes a delicious addition to stir-fries, pasta dishes, soups and meat-free meals. Easy to prepare and rewarding to grow, it’s an excellent choice for adventurous home cooks and mushroom lovers alike.

WHEN WILL MY MUSHROOMS START GROWING? Good things take a little time… You can expect growth anywhere from 7–21 days after cutting the X. Once the first pins appear, your mushrooms will grow quickly and should be ready to harvest within approximately 7–14 days.

WHERE’S THE BEST SPOT FOR MY BOX? Your mushrooms love a comfortable indoor space that is clean, bright and fresh. Keep the box out of direct sunlight and away from strong drafts. A temperature of 13–20°C is ideal for fruiting.

WILL THEY GROW AGAIN AFTER HARVEST? Yes, they will! With the right care and suitable conditions, your box can produce 2–3 harvests. New mushrooms will usually begin appearing within 14–21 days after the previous harvest.

HOW DO I KEEP THEM HAPPY AND HYDRATED? Mushrooms love moisture. Give them a gentle mist with a spray bottle at least three times a day, or place a humidifier nearby to create a comfortable, humid environment.
