Blue Oyster is the variety you grew in class and the perfect starting point for any home grower. Reliable, fast-colonising, and incredibly productive, it's the workhorse of the oyster mushroom world. Expect dense, slate-blue clusters with a mild, earthy flavour that works beautifully in everything from a simple stir fry to a Sunday pasta.

This spawn is produced on-site at Urban Valley using Australian sorghum grain, autoclave sterilised at 121°C and inoculated under sterile lab conditions. Sorghum's small, round grain structure means excellent mycelial distribution and faster colonisation. 

Storage: Keep refrigerated at 2 to 4°C until ready to use. Do not freeze.

Best used by: Within 8 weeks of receiving for best results.Break grains apart in bag before inoculation.
