1) How many pounds of mushrooms will on of the Greenwood Farm kits provide?
----- We estimate about 3/4 of a pound, give or take, with each flush, and 2 flushes are possible.
2) What kind of mushroom is a Blue Oyster Mushroom?
----- Pleurotus ostreatus is an Oyster Mushroom; We use the blue oyster spawn because it thrives in cooler temperatures, is very versatile in cooking, and has a lovely texture.
3) What's the shelf-life for them once they've been harvested?
----- A week, give or take a few days, in the refrigerator will be fine. We have a video on our YouTube channel demonstrating how to harvest them.
4) Are they good raw?
----- No. Cooking deactivates anti-nutrients and unlocks the medicinal and nourishing properties. We provide many recipes in our FaceBook group "Mushroom Recipes with Greenwood Farm" and are drafting a cookbook.
