How to maximize an oyster grow kit

So me and my mother exchanged christmas presents last night, and I guess she'd heard about my interest in fungi so she bought me an oyster grow kit.
I've never grown oyster before, but it just appears to be a block of mycelium in a spawn bag with a filter patch thing.
I'm thinking I could open the bag, break up the block and spawn it to pasteurized straw/coir? Do oysters like coir?
I would probably dunk the block before spawning it. Any other ideas?

What's an AR? Is that US terminology for something?
And balzer as you know I'm no expert but aren't oysters a wood lover? If so doubt you'll have much success with coir and straw buddy

Black powder and me = pipe bombs. Not safe. I love things that go boom a little too much

Yes oysters like wood. Don't bust up a colonized block and try to spawn it, just fruit it as is. Open the bag, or cut little x's on the sides and put in a FC.

yes in the US one can purchase any ol firearm they feel like, but pot is still (mostly) criminal. :superultramegapalmtotheface:
and, i read here someplace recently, that oysters are the closest edible to cubes one can grow, in terms of technique and requirements.
i'll see if i can find the thread...
yes here we are:
Quote:
RogerRabbit said: Main differences between oysters and cubes are that oysters prefer a cooler fruiting temperature, especially at night. Oysters are also highly intolerant of a high CO2 level, so massive fresh air is required. Oysters also require more light than cubes to form properly.
All in all, consider oyster mushrooms the 'closest' thing to growing cubes, and once you master growing P ostreatus, take what you learn and put P cubensis into the same regimen and watch them explode with massive growth and fruiting.
Growing cubes is like riding a bike with training wheels. Nothing you do wrong seems to hurt. However, once you learn to grow a more difficult species, come back to cubes with what you've learned, and you'll know why experienced growers around here constantly preach the gospel of light, FAE, substrate supplementation with gypsum, sterile procedure, etc. RR

interesting, the part about learning to grow mushrooms trickier than P.cubensis will broadly improve your cubensis grows.
