Golden Oysters (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) are a tropical strain that thrive in warmer temperatures and tend to fruit in summer months. They produce beautiful clusters of bright yellow caps that are a favorite at farmers' markets.
When cooked, golden oyster mushrooms have a mild nutty flavor and aroma that pairs well with most dishes. Oyster mushrooms are great for beginners because they colonize quickly and are reliable producers.

That's not mold, it's mycelium!
Your kit includes plug spawn colonized with mushroom mycelium. It may appear covered with a soft, white, mold-like substance - that's the mushroom mycelium! It is completely normal. The mycelium of some species is more prominent than others.
