Oyster mushrooms
Oyster mushrooms, grown at home.
Mycelis is focused on gourmet oyster mushrooms because they are fast-growing, beautiful, and well suited to simple home growing.
Why oyster mushrooms?
Oyster mushrooms are one of the best fits for home growing because they are visual, rewarding, and versatile in the kitchen.
Fast-growing
Oyster mushrooms can develop quickly during the fruiting stage, making each grow feel rewarding.
Beautiful to watch
Clusters form visibly from the cartridge, turning the grow into something you can see day by day.
Great for cooking
Oyster mushrooms have a tender texture and mild savoury flavour that works well in everyday meals.
Suited to Mycelis
Their clustered growth makes them a strong fit for a clean cartridge-based countertop system.
