Grow gourmet mushrooms at home — just like we used to.

At North Spore, our journey began with oyster mushrooms in buckets. In fact, bucket-grown oysters were our first major harvests, and for years, they were our bread and butter. This kit is a tribute to those roots: simple, effective, and designed for results.

Whether you're a first-time cultivator or a seasoned mushroom enthusiast, this beginner-friendly bucket kit makes it easy to grow mushrooms in almost any environment. Designed for simplicity and performance, the pre-drilled food-grade bucket is ready to use right out of the box—no special tools or experience required!

This complete system provides everything you need to cultivate mushrooms at home (just bring your own stock pot for pasteurization). The included chopped straw is shredded to the ideal size for colonization, while the premium North Spore grain spawn delivers fast and reliable growth. From inoculation to pinning, you could see results in as little as 7 days!

Each Complete Bucket Kit Includes:

  • (1) Pre-drilled, food-grade mushroom bucket
  • (1) Bag of pesticide-free chopped straw
  • (1) 3 lb bag of oyster mushroom grain spawn
  • (1) Burlap sack
  • (1) Bungee cord

Ready to start your mushroom-growing adventure? This kit offers a simple, satisfying way to explore the world of fungi, whether you're growing on a balcony, in a basement, or out in the backyard.

Strain Options

  • Blue Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus): A cold-tolerant variety with bluish-gray caps and a rich, savory flavor
  • Italian Oyster (Pleurotus pulmonarius): Milder in flavor and well-suited to warmer growing conditions
  • Snow Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus): White, delicate caps with excellent culinary versatility
  • Pink Oyster (Pleurotus djamor): Vivid pink mushrooms with a seafood-like aroma, perfect for summer grows

Caring for Your Spawn

  • Open the box as soon as possible and remove the spawn
  • Unfold the top of the spawn bag to create air space
  • Make sure the filter patch is not covered, so the mycelium can breathe
  • Store the spawn in the refrigerator if you are not using it right away
  • For best results, use within four to six weeks

Cleaning instructions

We recommend cleaning your bucket between each use to keep all surfaces as sterile as possible.

  • Wipe down all surfaces to remove dirt and spores with a soft cloth soaked in warm water. 
  • Sanitize by spraying with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution inside and out.
  • DO NOT use bleach or abrasives.

First flush success

I just harvested my first flush of blue oysters in a mush bucket. The kit was so easy to use and provided the rapid gratification I desired - I also inoculated some oak logs with shiitakes and experimenting with morels for long term shroom production. The first flush gave me over 29 oz and I left some smaller clusters to keep growing. Hoping for more before I switch things up for warmer weather varieties. I could have built my own bucket but nothing beats someone else setting me up for success! Nice kit!

Those are beautiful oysters, Joy! Thanks so much for sharing your experience and for growing with us!

Excellent product

Really enjoyed using the MushBucket! It was very easy instructions to follow and have gotten 2 flushes and well over 2 lb first flush. My only complaint would be that maybe instead of a 5 gallon bucket to offer a couple of 2 or 3 gallon buckets. This would make fitting it into a Martha tent easier as I had to remove a shelf in my boom room. Otherwise, such a great product!

Way To Go

I love how everything arrived packaged extremely well! I elected the snow oysters and can’t wait to taste them!

I went ahead with the pasteurization method based on the instructions which were very easy to follow and gave a step by step process on how to get it done.

If you have any doubts and don’t want to deal with drilling holes this kit is a great choice. Exciting times!

Pink oyster container grow

This was very helpful at getting started in buckets, but the straw didn't fill all the buckets. The burlap bag was very useful at draining the water, and the hanger was great as well. I really like that the buckets were pre-drilled holes that make the next step easier. Is there a way we can order sawdust instead of grain spawn for the all in one bucket? I've had bad luck with grain but not sawdust. If there is a way to change the grain for sawdust, I think if would've work for me. Overall, I love the products of north spore, their support team is especially good as responding to their customers.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, Xiang! Your support and suggestions are what drive us to do better every day. If you have any further comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Great kit

I got this kit as a first time mushroom growing project and it couldn’t have been better. Everything was packed well, instructions were easy to follow and I could already see growth after only a couple days. Can’t wait to see them fully fruit.

I may have a new addiction.

Wow Chase! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!

So excited!

Received by mushbucket to experiment with growing my own mushrooms. Everything came so well packaged and ready to use. Having everything prepared like this is so helpful for a beginner like myself, so I greatly appreciate the ease that comes along with this kit. It's a great size too so I'll be able to store it wherever I would like without having to worry about space issues.

Thanks for the great review, Hannah! If you need help with anything, please reach out.
