Blue Oyster
Pleurotus ostreatus
A fast, cool-weather oyster strain and one of the best mushrooms for a first grow. It colonises quickly and forms tidy clusters of blue-grey caps.
Grey Oyster
Pleurotus ostreatus
A productive, slightly more heat-tolerant oyster strain that suits a wide range of conditions. A reliable choice for beginners and small growers.
Pink Oyster
Pleurotus djamor
A vivid, fast, warm-weather oyster that thrives in Indian heat. It fruits quickly and looks striking, though it has a short shelf life.
King Oyster
Pleurotus eryngii
The largest oyster, prized for thick, meaty white stems. It needs cooler fruiting and strong fresh air to form its signature shape.
Lion's Mane
Hericium erinaceus
A striking white, toothed mushroom with a seafood-like taste, valued both in the kitchen and as a functional mushroom.
Yellow Oyster
Pleurotus citrinopileatus
Bright yellow-capped oyster native to eastern Asia — delicate fruiting bodies best harvested promptly after maturity.
White Oyster
Pleurotus florida
A popular, adaptable tropical oyster with rapid production cycles — grows efficiently on a broad range of agricultural residues.
Reishi
Ganoderma lucidum
A firm, woody functional mushroom grown for teas and extracts rather than for eating. Its shape shifts with carbon dioxide levels.
Coral Tooth
Hericium coralloides
A close relative of Lion's Mane forming branching, coral-like structures — both edible and valued for its medicinal potential.
Milky Mushroom
Calocybe indica
A heat-loving white mushroom developed in India, well suited to hot, humid plains and with a longer shelf life than most.
Paddy Straw Mushroom
Volvariella volvacea
A fast tropical mushroom grown on rice straw in the monsoon heat. It grows and matures very quickly and is best eaten fresh.
