Update: The first photo was day 3 of growing. We harvested on day 4, and got 255 grams of tasty snack! 
I thought a group of blue oysters was called a cult

Yeah, but those have more cowbell.
And they don't fear the reaper.
Those look like ingredients for a mana potion.
Be careful with these kits, especially if there's any extra moisture or humidity in your home. I've heard some horror stories about the mushrooms starting to spread.
Always a good idea to harvest just before they begin drop their spores!
Spread? Where to?
Humid areas like bathrooms. Especially true for mushrooms that decompose wood.
Oh I see - thanks for the warning!
Pretty! What will you do with them
Pleurotus ostreatus is a fantastic culinary species. Sauteed for six minutes they're very similar to crispy pork.
Eat them, and grow another batch!
That's much more attractive than the ones I've used.
Extremely cool. Would you please share the kit?! I love the cork look.
The kit is from Mushbarn in Grass Valley, CA. We picked it up while we there for a visit. https://mushbarn.com/products/new-mushroom-grow-kit-blue-oyster
These look excellent, good job.
Absolutely beautiful. All in color, shape, and presentation.
