How to grow oyster mushrooms at home
Our mushroom farm sources local growing mediums and employs a sustainable and renewable farming practice. As our mushrooms are grown and harvested locally we can ensure the freshest product available.
Gourmet mushrooms are farmed in many different methods globally, at The Mushroom Guys we try to replicate growing mediums as closely to their natural environment. Gourmet mushrooms are found naturally growing on hardwoods globally.
We use sustainably sourced WA hardwood sawdust, this is
carefully selected, tested and blended into every one of our mushroom blocks. This hardwood sawdust is a waste stream of the West Australian timber industry.
By using locally sourced waste materials as growing
medium for our mushrooms we divert almost 30 tones of sawdust waste annually.
We try to recreate the ideal conditions to fruit our mushrooms. Sustainably sourced WA hardwood sawdust is carefully selected, tested and blended into every one of our mushroom blocks.
Our mushroom farm is located in the heart of the Perth metropolitan area, meaning the lowest possible time spent in transit before being delivered to you.
All The Mushroom Guys' farm waste is repurposed. Spent substrates are packed up and collected weekly where they are then used as a key ingredient in compost mixes.
They partner with Write Solutions to ensure that non-compostable waste streams are separated and handled accordingly and sustainably.
Growing vertically significantly reduces the amount of land space needed to grow plants compared to traditional farming methods.
Controlling variables such as light, humidity, air exchange and temperature year round allows predictable production with reliable harvests.
No sprays or harmful chemicals are used in the growing of these mushrooms.
