Growing Blue Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) in a Box Kit

I have to hand it to my husband and business partner, Brian, for trying new things all the time.  He loves to branch out and learn new practical skills.  In his spare time of late he’s been growing Blue Oyster Mushrooms for food and loving every minute of it.

He’s always loved mushrooms while I’ve never been a big fan.  I love mushrooms for their mycoremediation ability allowing contaminated land to regenerate and for their knack of creating the soil conditions my perennial plants prefer: fungal dominated soils.  But Brian, he just loves to eat them so why not start growing them too.
