Nos blocs de culture de pleurotes italiens (Pleurotus pulmonarius) sont issus d'une souche qui produit de magnifiques grappes de champignons aux grands chapeaux festonnés allant du beige au brun foncé, selon les conditions d'éclairage. Ils ont une saveur douce, un arôme terreux, et sont très appréciés par ceux qui préfèrent un pleurote plus ferme. Les pleurotes italiens sont excellents pour les débutants car ils sont des producteurs fiables et ont tendance à donner de grandes récoltes. Ils sont également parmi les blocs les plus faciles à faire fructifier de manière répétée et, s'ils sont maintenus dans les bonnes conditions, devraient produire de manière fiable une deuxième récolte ou plus !

Receiving and Storage

Remove kit from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive!

Fruiting blocks should be used within 1 week of receipt. If you don't plan to use immediately, you can refrigerate your block for up to 6 months.

Growing Instructions

For the majority of mushroom species, all that is needed to initiate fruiting (or begin the growth cycle) is a change in environmental conditions -- specifically humidity, light, temperature, and changes to oxygen and CO2 levels.

For best results:

We recommend growing your Italian oyster block in a fruiting chamber (like a monotub or martha tent) as a controlled environment will decrease the risk of contamination and increase the chances of success.

Creating optimal conditions:

The environmental parameters for Italian oyster mushrooms can be found on this page under "Temp, Humidity & CO2 guide" and on page 4 of our fruiting block instruction booklet.

Preparing your block:

Tightly fold excess plastic back and place the block face up.

How to initiate fruiting:

Slice bag with a single diagonal line or with an X.
Italian oyster mushrooms can be top or side fruited.

Special considerations:

Italian oyster mushrooms are prone to discoloration and/or blotch (dark spots on the fruiting bodies) when grown in warmer temperatures.

Harvesting your mushrooms:

Harvest Italian oyster mushrooms when edges of cap are still slightly turned under. Remove clusters with care as caps can be brittle. Can be harvested young to extend shelf life.

Growing different blocks together:

With some compromise, many different species of mushrooms can be grown together in a fruiting chamber. First, consider the temperature range of the mushrooms you desire to grow, and second, the CO2 sensitivity. Humidity ranges overlap for the majority of species. We encourage you to experiment with many different groupings!

Troubleshooting:

Having issues with unusual growth, stunted growth, or no growth at all? Refer to pages 16-18 in our fruiting block instruction booklet.

Temp, Humidity, & C02 Guide

Temperature 65-75°F | 18-24°C
Humidity (Phase 1: Primordia)95-100%
Humidity (Phase 2: Fruitbody)85-95%
CO2 Sensitivity (Phase 1: Primordia)<800 ppm
CO2 Sensitivity (Phase 2: Fruitbody)<800 ppm

Primordia - The earliest recognizable stage of fruitbody development. Also known as “baby mushrooms” or “mushroom pins.”
Fruitbody - A fully grown mushroom, the reproductive structure of the organism in which the spores are produced.
CO2 sensitivity - When CO2 levels are too high, yields will decrease, stems will become long and stringy, caps will be small, and/or growth will halt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fruiting block kits are mushroom grow kits, but tend to be larger (5 lbs) and some require a bit more care depending on species. Instead of boxes, they are bagged. We recommend growing them in a fruiting chamber such as a monotub or martha tent set up like our BoomRoom. A controlled environment will produce the best results for the fruiting blocks. And, since these kits are slightly larger, they can produce more mushrooms than our Spray & Grow Kits.

Oyster mushrooms and lion's mane mushroom fruiting block kits are great for beginners because they are reliable producers and require the least amount of effort. Reishi is also great because the mushroom grows in the unopened bag (no special care or fruiting chamber required!)

All kits should grow a minimum of one flush of mushrooms, but with a little patience and skill you can often get a second or third flush depending on the species! After you’ve harvested your first flush of mushrooms, remove any growth from the block and follow these instructions:

⮕ If you have a martha tent or an automated fruiting chamber, leave the humidity and fan running and wait about 2 weeks for new pins to begin forming.

⮕ If you are using a monotub or non-autmated fruiting chamber, open 2x daily and spray blocks generously with water. Try not to expose the blocks for too long to decrease chances of contamination.

⮕ If you don't have a monotub, martha tent, or fruiting chamber cover the block with a humidity tent made from a large plastic grocery bag with LOTS of small, quarter-sized holes. Remove the humidity tent 2x daily and spray blocks generously with water.

Be patient: It's totally normal for it to take longer for mushrooms to appear with each subsequent fruiting. However, if there's no progress after two weeks, it’s a good idea to soak your block.

Soaking your block: Take your block out of the bag and soak in a bowl of cool water. Most species only need to soak for 20 minutes. However, only soak your lion's mane block for 5-10 minutes as these blocks tend to break apart if soaked for too long. After soaking, let the block drain by leaving it cut side down for another 10 minutes or tip it around to let extra water run off. You don't want to leave standing water in your bag, so pat your block dry with a towel before placing it back in the bag.

Note: Shiitake blocks should not be placed back in the bag.

For most species, you should leave the block in the bag for the entire duration of the growing cycle. However, there are some exceptions.

⮕ Shiitake should be removed from the bag before going into the fruiting chamber.

⮕ Nameko should have most of the top of the bag cut off (leaving about 4" of plastic above the block) before going into the fruiting chamber.

Our fruiting block kits are made from sawdust blocks that have been amended with substrate supplements.

2 great flushes!

We bought several blocks and we’re super stoked about how it’s going! This block gave us 2 great flushes so far. Going to try for a 3rd since the block still seems solid. First flush went into a sauce. 2nd one my daughter and I saluted up with chicken breast, Italian herbs, garlic and basil then served over quinoa. Super fun to grow and crazy delicious😍😋

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We appreciate the review, John.

This block got us hooked

We are new to the mushroom growing game, but after successfully harvesting this block twice with over 1 lb of mushrooms each, we are officially hooked! This has so far been our fastest growing variety, making it great for us as beginners. This variety tastes amazing as well. Our favorite way to eat it is pan fried in butter with salt, pepper, and thyme. So simple but our new favorite food. Currently waiting to see if we’ll get a third crop🤞

Thanks for sharing, Josie! Your review made our day.

This is the start of my new garden. I have ordered from North Spore many times and have not been disappointed yet.

Legendary!

I've been with North Spore for a couple years, and let me tell you; these Italian Oyster Fruiting Blocks are THE most consistent things on the planet! I may not have mastered bulk fruiting, but I can sure as hell fruit these any day!

Beautiful oysters, Conner! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!

Beautiful & Easy!

One of my first grows, and an absolutely beautiful shroom. Super fast and rewarding for a first grow!

So glad to see you had success with your first grow, Chloe! Thanks for sharing your experience us!

Great kit

Very happy with this mushroom, I was harvesting them on day 5 and 6 after delivery and setting up the fruiting blocks. I hope pictures will show the best

Fabulous results!

In just 4 days I've got a flush that is huge, as usual from North Spore. I can't wait to figure out what recipe to use these in!

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, Collet! That's amazing to hear you got results so fast! They look great!

Complete Satisfaction

This just like everything else I have ordered from North spore is top quality.

Thanks for the kind review, John! We couldn’t do it without customers like you.

Amazing growth!

I pit this in my mono tub and withing 3 days it started pinning and had a full harvest for dinner within a week. Already getting a second flush! Couldn't be happier!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Timothy! We're so glad you had such great harvest with your block! Please reach out if we can ever help with anything!

It’s Fra-Gil-e

Glad I got my order in and nearly completes my oyster collection.

Can’t wait for these!

Very good mushrooms

Buy this and try these mushrooms they’re very good

Delicious and beautiful

These mushrooms grew quickly and beautifully...while they lack the color of other oyster mushrooms they have wonderful flavor. The first flush was so bountiful I gave some to my neighbors. Hoping to coax a second flush out of the block.

Almost 2 1/2 pounds in 4 days

Using a monotub set up i got almost 2 1/2 lbs in just 4 days. Amazing

What a gorgeous flush, Ken! Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Italian Oyster Fruiting Block

One flush so far. Blue oyster starting a 2nd flush, hoping Italian will start 2nd also.

It will! We can always help, too! (:

Fantastic

From start to finish: Every one of the bags produced mushrooms.Very happy.

So great to hear you've had a fruitful experience, Lynn! We so appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!

Always Unbelievable!!

I’ve grown these a number of time, and the kit always produces beautiful results. They are almost too beautiful to eat. Just kidding, they’ll be gone in two days!😂

Wow Doug! What a great flush! Haha, they really are so beautiful. We hope you enjoyed them!

Italian Oyster Mushroom

My first try at this mushroom was awesome. Over 16 oz and I did not share a bite.
On second flush did not have many but it was enough that I will buy more of this fruiting block.
So delicious!

Outstanding product and service. Can't wait to order more

Wow! This was fast right out of the gate!

Another great fruiting block from North Spore! Your product is always world class.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Doug. So great to hear you are having success using our Fruiting Blocks!

I'm impressed!

I honestly cannot say enough good about this company and their products.

This was our first time trying/growing Italian Oyster mushrooms and now they are a favorite!

I love the thought and care that has gone into the resources avaliable, especially the YouTube channel.

There is a learning curve for sure( our first fluch was pale due to not having the right setup) but Northspore has taken every step possible to make it where anyone, even a novice like myself, can get into growing.

We have already purchased more blocks and will be coming back again once we harvest!

Thank you Northspore!

We truly appreciate your support, Shalee! Our team is here to help if you ever need anything.

Amazing mushrooms

I ordered two blocks of these. They both generated very large crops that totaled 10lbs. I fried a large portion of them. They are very Meaty and easy to cook. Since my first crop yielded so much I had to give some away so they wouldn't spoil. Very good product. Highly recommend

Thanks so much for sharing, Nicholas! You're review made our day.

Fast growing!

I put one of these in my boom room and had mushrooms within the week. I was delighted and bought a second block!

Thanks for sharing, Larz! Italian oysters are one of our favorite species, too!

Incredible

Fruiting block is rocking! Thank you

Awesome, Justin! Thanks for your review.

Delicious!

A tiny bit of olive oil, some salt, and and air fryer are all you need to get super tasty mushrooms that you can add to anything from pasta, or pizza, or just eat them as a snack! We got three flushes off of our first block. After the 2nd flush, I thought it was done and just left it in my monotub only to find new mushrooms growing on the underside a week later! Loved these and will be purchasing more.

Hi Kristen!

We're so glad you like the Italian oysters! Congrats on your culinary success. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Slow to start

Very slow to start but eventually got going! BIG and beautiful and tasted great! Only was able to get one flush. I ordered these, the pink, golden and blue. These were the only ones I was happy with.

We appreciate your honesty and would love to make this right! Somebody from our team is reaching out to you via email now to assist you with the issue.
