The facts
About Winter White
Timeline
First harvest about 7 to 14 days after you cut. It slows down if the room is warm. Keep spraying for another round.
As food
This is a cooking mushroom, lean and savory. Cook it all the way through and do not eat it raw.
Worth knowing
The caps stay pale, almost white. That is the strain, not a lack of light. A little window light still helps them form.
Food and tea. Not medicine. The FDA has not reviewed this.

Why this one
Before you add it to cart
Same simple opening as the other oysters. A warm house stretches the caps, so give it a cooler spot if you have one.
Easy if you can keep it around 50 to 65 F.
The full steps for every species, including the ones that need an open top, a cold night, or a sealed bag, live on How to grow. Use this page to decide if you want this mushroom. Use that page when the box is on your counter.

Harvest
White, still slightly curved in. Cook the same day if you can.
After you pick
Keep spraying the same X. If nothing returns, soak the cut face 20 minutes. Drain. Mist again.
In the kitchen
Butter, garlic, salt. Do not crowd the pan.
Recipe
Winter White with garlic
1. Tear the cluster. 2. Hard sear in a hot pan. 3. Butter and garlic at the end. Over potatoes or noodles.
If something looks wrong

Pins stall or turn crispy
Too dry. Mist more, or loosely tent with air holes.
