Product type | Mushroom Spawn |
Strain | Oyster |
Description | Blue Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) is a fast substrate colonizer with a strong bluish-gray hue. It produces richly umami mushrooms with a soft, meaty texture that pairs well with most dishes. Oyster mushrooms are great for beginners because they colonize quickly and are reliable producers. As our most productive oyster strain, they are reliable, cold-tolerant, and fruit prolifically in early spring or late fall. They are also ideal for commercial cultivation, especially when grown on straw. |
Application | •Blue oyster sawdust spawn can be used for log projects and/or outdoor beds and containers. •Sawdust spawn is ideal for larger log projects of 10 or more logs. •This is not a mushroom grow kit. Blue oyster sawdust spawn must combined with a substrate (like straw) or used in log inoculation in order to fruit. |
