Local Green Mountain Oyster Mushroom
Local Green Mountain Oyster
Delicious, mild flavor, more earthy than some other Oyster Mushrooms. Cultivated from a local, wild Oyster Mushroom. These are wonderful on the grill with garlic and sea salt, or sauteed and added to just about anything you can dream up.

Shiitake
One of our favorites. Excellent flavor. Bake with blue cheese or goat cheese and bread crumbs, sauteed up in a nice cream sauce with Steak, or add to your favorite Chili recipe. Possibilities are endless.

· When the block is fully colonized, cut an X about ¾ of an inch wide in the bag, just above the substrate. If you notice a mushroom already forming, you can cut the X so the mushroom will be exposed to the air. It should continue to grow.
· Fold the bag down and remove all of the air.
· Secure the bag tightly with tape, leaving the X that you cut exposed. This is where the mushroom will appear.
· Cover loosely with a plastic bag (a grocery bag will work).
· Mist the interior of the bag as needed to keep humidity up.
· The Lions Mane block should start to produce a mushroom in 7-10 days.
