Introducing the Gourmet Mushroom Grow Kit, a delightful creation by Cape Town Exotic Mushrooms, designed to make growing your own gourmet mushrooms a breeze! No backyard or green thumb needed. Just open, spray twice a day with the included spray bottle, follow along in the included activity book, and in around 10 days you’ll be harvesting your own gourmet mushrooms right out the box. The perfect gift for, foodie, garden-loving and eco-conscious family & friends.
Pink oyster mushrooms impress with not just stunning beauty but also succulent and savoury flavours, making them a perfect addition to sautés, pastas, pizzas, and various other dishes. As a tropical oyster mushroom, pink oysters thrive in higher temperatures and humidity. With sufficient indirect sunlight their colour becomes intensified. Their denser texture makes pink oysters an excellent meat substitute. For those feeling adventurous, numerous recipes incorporate them into burritos, BBQ sandwiches, and even as vegan bacon!
We hope you join our journey to grow together.

- All Cape Town Exotic Mushroom grow kits are 100% Guaranteed to grow – if your kit doesn’t grow as described, we’ll replace it for free.
Instruction:
Step 1: Remove the perforated panel located on the front of the mushroom grow kit. This allows easy access to the contents.
Step 2: Now, take a sharp knife or scissors and carefully slice an ‘X’ into the front of the substrate bag. The ‘X’ will provide the mycelium with a breath of fresh air while maintaining the necessary humid environment crucial for mushroom formation.
Step 3: To promote more vigorous pinning and higher yields, gently scrape away some substrate from where the bag was cut, using a fork.
Step 4: Take the substrate bag out of the box and place it face down in a bowl of water. Allow it to soak for approximately 6-9 hours to ensure proper hydration. Once the substrate is fully hydrated, drain any excess water from the bag before returning it to the box. To do this, hold the bag face down and gently shake it, then dry the bag with a paper towel.
Step 5: Choose a suitable location for your kit with good ambient humidity, such as near your kitchen sink. Providing a bit of natural light, but away from direct sunlight, will help your mushrooms develop a deep, rich colour. Be cautious not to expose the kit to excessive sunlight, as it may dry out.
Step 6: Your kit is capable of producing multiple flushes of mushrooms over the next few weeks. Follow the instructions in the included activity book and maintain proper hydration by spraying the substrate around one to two times a day using the provided spray bottle.
Step 7: Lift the plastic flaps (Once or twice a day) and use the included spray bottle to give the substrate (3-5 sprays). Your gourmet mushrooms will begin pinning in about one week! Watch for small white dots that start to emerge from your mushroom box. Once you spot them, it’s time for the next step.
Step 9: Once most of your gourmet mushroom caps are around 3-5cm wide, it’s time to harvest them! To harvest them, grab the mushrooms by their base (where they connect to the substrate), gently pull, and twist to remove.
Step 10: Try out one or some of our delicious mushroom recipes with your freshly harvested gourmet mushrooms.
Storage:
Please refrain from refrigerating pink oyster mushroom kits. If you are not planning to use the Gourmet Mushroom Grow Kit (Pink Oyster) immediately, you can safely store it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, for a period of up to 3 months.
Cautions and Considerations:
Please Note: Please cook mushrooms thoroughly. If it’s your first time eating this species, try start with a small amount to see how your body responds first. Mushrooms produce spores as a means of reproduction. These spores usually appear as a dusty surface on the kit and surface beneath the mushroom caps. People with compromised immune systems or allergies may want to consider fruiting their mushroom grow kits outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Airborne spores can sometimes cause respiratory irritation, this irritation can sometimes develop even in non-allergic or immune compromised people. Harvesting mushrooms before the caps completely open will reduce overall spore load.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to make the world of mushrooms accessible for all. We want to help every family experience the magic of growing mushrooms – no big backyard or green thumb needed. Cape Town Exotic Mushrooms is a mycological brand for mushroom enthusiasts, by mushroom enthusiasts. We produce all our spawn used on our facility, with multiple mycologists and trained lab technicians overseeing our in-house laboratory, spawn production, and culture bank.
