The black pearl king oyster (Pleurotus spp.) is a versatile and immensely tasty hybrid between several oyster species. Smaller in stature and arguably more tender than the more common king oyster, these gorgeous mushrooms are a true delicacy: Sliced parallel to the run of the stem into round discs, the black pearl yields scallop-like servings that can be sautéed to bring out an unparalleled mellow, earthy flavor. These mushies are something special: Black pearls represent at least one of the Midway Mushroom boys' number-one favorite cultivar. Black pearls, like oysters, lion's mane, and shiitake, grow saprophytically (on dead and dying trees). At Midway Mushrooms, we simulate these natural conditions within a climate-controlled indoor environment. Our mycophile growers load nutritionally enhanced sawdust substrate into polypropylene bags for sterilization before inoculating bags with live mycelium hand-selected for quality and vigor. Inoculated bags are carefully incubated before fruiting under parameters tweaked for healthy, happy mushroom growth! Midway Mushrooms is a certified Produce Safety Alliance farm. Our gourmet mushrooms are grown from recycled agricultural and forestry byproducts.

The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is a classic culinary staple beloved by many chefs for its meaty umami flavor. This tasty gourmet treat pairs nicely with steak, adds amazing texture and taste to rice, provides an excellent soup centerpiece, and of course is incredible as the main course, sauteed in butter or oil! Many species and strains of Pleurotus perform spectacularly in the kitchen, but we've selected this particular variety for its hardiness, tastiness, and striking silver-blue color. Common across much of North America, including here on the Cumberland Plateau, the oyster mushroom grows saprophytically (on dead and dying trees). At Midway Mushrooms, we simulate these natural conditions within a climate-controlled indoor environment. Our mycophile growers load nutritionally enhanced sawdust substrate into polypropylene bags for sterilization before inoculating bags with live mycelium hand-selected for quality and vigor.

Ready-to-fruit mushroom grow kits are an easy, fun way to put heaping harvests of mushrooms on the table while learning firsthand about the wild world of mushroom growth. First time growing gourmet mushrooms? Don’t worry! Ready-to-fruit kits make the process a walk in the park. What’s more, essentially any home is suitable for effective mushroom cultivation. This kit includes a 5+ lb fully myceliated sawdust block and detailed growing instructions. Recommended but not included: A spray bottle for H2O. From the start of the growing process, mushrooms usually are ready for harvest in 10 to 14 days. Total yields can be expected been 1.5 and 4lb (over multiple flushes), depending on growing conditions. The blue oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is a classic culinary staple beloved by many chefs for its intense meaty flavor. Resilient, productive, and forgiving of a relatively wide range of growing conditions, this particular strain produces large, stunning mushroom clusters the depth of whose vivid blue color scales inversely with temperature. Common across much of the temperate globe, including on our own Cumberland Plateau, where hardy specimens often can be found temporarily frozen solid during the winter months, white to tan oyster mushrooms of the same species grow saprophytically (on dead and dying trees), particularly in relation to hardwoods like oak and poplar. High in protein, vitamin C, niacin, and potassium, oyster mushrooms are healthy as well as profoundly flavorful. Fascinating, adaptable, and reliable, the blue oyster mushroom is a staple constituent of the mushroom cultivator’s toolkit.

The golden oyster mushroom (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) is a spectacularly tasty specialty cultivar with a distinct sweet, nutty flavor and rich aroma. Their comparatively mild flavor, by comparison with the highly meaty blue oysters, makes goldens an excellent choice for first-time gourmet mushroom eaters. This stunning bright yellow strain was derived from specimens in Eurasia, where it is a prized foraged fungus. Sautéed goldens are an unparalleled centerpiece in Alfredo pastas and risottos, though they also thrive as the main course, pan-seared in butter or oil! High in antioxidants, protein, and B vitamins, these mushies are good for the body as well as the taste buds! Golden oysters are an adaptable grower but fruit best in comparatively warm-weather conditions. They have a shorter shelf life, meaning they are best eaten within a few days after harvest.
