Oyster mushrooms are easy to grow at home even without special knowledge. They are unpretentious regarding conditions: they require a moderate temperature of 18‑22 °C and humidity of 80‑90 %. For cultivation, a substrate is prepared from sawdust, sunflower husks, straw, or corn cobs. Mycelium is placed in polyethylene bags and then cared for, providing sufficient lighting and ventilation. Oyster mushrooms can bear fruit for several weeks, after which they can be cooked using boiling, frying, or stewing methods.

Erings are a variety of king oyster mushrooms, distinguished by a large cap up to 13 cm in diameter, a finely scaled brown surface, and a thick fleshy stem about 5 cm high. The taste of the mushrooms is pleasant with a light aroma. Erings can be cultivated on stumps, in substrate, or in mushroom blocks. Such material is often used for growing in greenhouses and cellars, where suitable conditions are created.
