Ready-to-fruit King Oyster blocks. The King is a dense, firm, and sweet culinary favorite that can be coined, cubed, julienned or steak cut. Fruiting conditions are exacting: temperature control at below 65°F; indirect sun or supplemental lighting (at least 8-12 hours/day); humidity less than 65%; and fresh air exchange. Shelving or other surfaces are ideal for organizing blocks, and the space should be kept clean. Controlling all of these factors will lead to increased mushroom-growing success. Each block produces about 1-1.75 lbs. of mushrooms.
