Pearl Oyster Mushrooms

Mr Fothergills Pearl Oyster Marvellous Mushrooms are a mushroom that has been one of Europe's favourite wild mushrooms for centuries, and it is also loved in the East. With a mild, refined flavour and beautiful velvety texture, this mushroom is perfect with chicken, pork and seafood, or just grilled with salt and pepper.

• The spawn is carried on cereal grains, which are then dried for easier handling.
• These are suitable for growing on Mr Fothergills mushroom grow boards.
• Alternatively they can be grown on logs. Poplar and willow are the most suitable.
• Logs should be carefully split length ways.
• Spread the contents of the pack over the surface of one half of the log and cover with the opposite half, tie string around log to hold together.
• Place log into a plastic bag and incubate in a warm location for around 2 months.
• Remove log from bag and plant in the garden in a sheltered, shady and damp location.
• The log should be placed with the split in a vertical position, water regularly to keep the log damp.
• It is often possible to harvest mushrooms in spring and autumn for up to 3 years.
