The black pearl oyster mushroom kit is a little more advanced than some of our other oyster mushroom kits, like the blue oyster and the yellow oyster. Buy Black Pearl Oyster Mushroom Kit Online. This is not to say that the kit must be used by beginners, but the temperature and relative humidity range that the mushrooms will fruit is not as wide as the other oyster mushrooms. We discuss this further below.

Ideal growing conditions for the black pearl oyster mushroom kit:

The ideal range is 55-60 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of 90-95%. To provide some perspective, the blue oyster mushroom’s temperature range for fruiting is in the 45-85 degrees Fahrenheit range, yet it can produce as low as 40 degrees F and as high as 95 degrees F.

There is a little wiggly room, up to about 65 degrees Fahrenheit, but if you’re too far out of that range, then your black pearl oyster mushrooms will not grow. One additional note is that the humidity is a little higher than the humidity required for the blue oyster as well.

Light: Black pearl oyster mushrooms need some light to grow, but it does not need to be a significant amount of light and it should not be direct sunlight and it.

If you can, then the kit has enough light to produce fresh black pearl oysters.

Humidity: You should mist your kit a few times each day so it keeps the humidity level high enough for the kit to fruit. As mentioned above, a relative humidity in the 90-95% range is ideal. You will see little baby mushrooms forming after about five or so days, and that is what we call the pinning stage. These baby mushrooms will continue to grow until they are full-sized and ready to harvest, which should be within two weeks of starting the kit.

Begin by placing your black oyster mushroom kit in the plastic tote with the top off. Mist the sides of the tote to keep them wet, and the bottom too if you would like. Just make sure the kit does not sit in standing water or it may lead to mold growth. Buy Black Pearl Oyster Mushroom Kit Online. Using a tote with the black oyster mushroom kit inside and a small fan blowing over the top of the tote has been a method many people have used to increase humidity levels indoors while using their yellow oyster mushroom growing kit.

CO2 and Airflow: The levels of CO2 greatly affect the shape of the yellow mushroom fruited bodies. You need to have fresh air flow for the mushrooms or you may end up with mushrooms that grow poorly. If you noticed this, then you probably need more fresh air exchange where the kit is located. This is common in situations where people use humidity tents. Adjusting the amount of airflow will help the mushrooms normalize in their dimensions. Buy Black Pearl Oyster Mushroom Kit Online.

Cutting holes in your kit: You will need to cut holes in the plastic that your black oyster mushroom kit comes in before you begin misting it. You can mist the substrate directly through the hole you make. We recommend using the broadside of the kit to cut the bags. Buy Black Pearl Oyster Mushroom Kit Online. The fresh mushrooms will grow towards these holes, seeking the environment of greater oxygen content.
