Why people cook Italian oyster
What it can add
A fast cooking oyster for a warm kitchen. Protein, fiber, B vitamins, and beta-glucans in a harvest you will actually eat. Sauté the cluster. Cook it through.
Grow it yourself
Grown on organic hardwood in Carthage. You cut an X, spray, pick the cluster, and cook it.
How to use it
Twist the cluster. Cook fully. Not a tea mushroom.
As food
Oysters are lean kitchen food: protein, fiber, B vitamins, potassium, and beta-glucans in a sauté. A weekly skillet is the habit. Cook them fully. Do not eat them raw.
Food and traditional tea — not a medicine. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If you are pregnant, nursing, or on medication, ask a clinician before making functional mushrooms a daily habit.

What you are actually growing
This is the oyster that does well when the house is 65–75°F. Same method as golden oyster.

How to fruit this block
Unbox the same day
Room out of hot sun. Read the name on the bag.
Cut an X on the side
2–3 inch X. Leave the rest of the bag on.
Mist the cut
Tap water, twice a day, damp not dripping.
Harvest the cluster
Twist at the base when caps flatten but rims still curve in. Cook fully.
Harvest
Caps 1–3 inches, still slightly in-rolled.
After the last flush
Rest 7–10 days, soak 2–4 hours, fruit again.
In the kitchen
High heat, little oil, salt at the end.
