Yellow Oyster Mushroom Kit

There are mushrooms that taste great, and there are mushrooms that stop conversations. The Yellow Oyster does both. Those brilliant golden clusters — erupting from the block in dense, fan-shaped bouquets — are genuinely one of the most beautiful things you can grow at home.

Our Organic Yellow Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit is made on our Tamborine Mountain farm using locally grown spawn and certified organic substrate. It's a warm-weather specialist that suits Australian summers perfectly.

About Yellow Oyster mushrooms

Yellow Oyster (Pleurotus citrinopileatus), also known as Golden Oyster, produces clusters of vivid lemon-yellow to golden caps with a mild, subtly sweet and nutty flavour. The texture is delicate and tender — more so than Pearl Oyster — which makes it best suited to quick cooking methods: a brief sauté, tossed into a soup at the last moment, or scattered over rice dishes. Don't overcook them — their delicate nature is part of their charm, and the colour fades fast with too much heat.

They photograph beautifully, which doesn't hurt.

A warm-weather favourite

Yellow Oysters prefer warmer conditions — 22–28°C is the ideal range — making them a natural companion to Pink Oyster as a summer growing option across Queensland and northern Australia. They fruit fast (often pinning within 4–7 days of opening), produce generous clusters, and reward growers with multiple flushes from a single block.

What's in the kit

A fully colonised organic substrate block inoculated with our Tamborine Mountain-grown Yellow Oyster spawn, packaged in a grow bag with clear instructions. Open, mist, and let the gold rush begin. Rest the block for a week between harvests and it'll keep giving.
