Chili Passion Fruit Crispy Oyster Mushrooms
Mushrooms are incredible, and learning more about each species fascinates me. I have been trying to grow snow oyster mushrooms for about a year. Every time they started to pin, they stopped growing and turned dry and brown. I moved to the desert, and the weather is colder at night than in San Diego. I placed the North Spore fruiting block into a chest outdoors and sprayed it daily since I still needed to set my grow tent up at the new place. Surprisingly, the snow oysters grew, and I got a big flush/harvest. They finally grew because the weather was colder outside at night than in my house. Snow oysters love to fruit in colder weather at 45-65°F. Now, fruiting blocks are meant to grow in tents, but I learned you can succeed in different environments. Also, mushrooms are like fruits and vegetables because they can thrive in seasons. I am starting a new journey with growing mushrooms in 2024. I will learn how to grow outdoors in my soon-to-be garden and how to reuse the growing blocks after I have grown mushrooms indoors. Let's learn together. As for this, how do Snow Oysters taste? I couldn't taste a difference, but I love the texture. They are less chewy and buttery. But that's just me. They were perfect for this Chili Pepper Passion Fruit Sauce. OMG, we could not stop eating them.
