Golden oyster mushrooms are another delicious and easy mushroom to grow. I frequently find a block that I threw out from my grow room deciding to fruit yet again. 


 
Like all mushrooms golden oyster mushrooms can act as a great supplement to any diet. Similar to most species of oyster mushrooms they are known for their levels of vitamin D and potential cholesterol reducing properties. They are however known to have slightly higher amounts of antioxidants and neuroprotective potential. Golden oysters have a nutty flavor with a more delicate texture than the blue oysters. I typically cook blue and golden oysters interchangeably, though the golden oyster make a particularly good risotto or mushroom toast. 



My grow kits come with everything you need to grow mushrooms on your countertop. They include a 5lb fruiting block that uses the same same substrate and mushroom cultures I use to grow my mushrooms. The kits are as simple as finding a surface in your house where you wont forget about it. Following the provided instructions the only things you have to do are cut an "x" in the fruiting block and use the provided misting bottle every day with tap water.
