Weight

This is a blue tinted oyster mushroom with cultivation requirements similar to the pearl or common oyster mushroom. Blue oysters fruit easily on a wide range of substrates. As with all Oyster mushrooms, blue oysters need plenty of fresh air to develop normally. The blue coloration of this mushroom is much more pronounced in the early stages of growth. When mature only a slight "hint" of blue coloring remains, but the fruits can often turn nearly white with age.

Lab produced, Belgian made, top quality, fresh, mycelium strains on sterilized rye grain berries in special sealed mushroom bags.

Once the bag is opened, the spawn must be used and applied to the substrate immediately.

You will receive ready colonized rye grain spawn for inoculation on various fruiting substrates, of your choice.

Your spawn is prepared fresh after ordering to maximize on quality. For this reason it may take between 10 to 14 days to produce.

Ideally the product should be used immediately after delivery, but, keep it stored in the fridge at 4° Celsius for a maximum of two months and it will still be viable - Respect the expiry date on the package.

EDIBILITY

Blue oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus columbinus) are a delicious, highly edible variety of oyster mushroom, known for their mild, slightly sweet, nutty, and seafood-like flavor and meaty texture, making them a popular choice for sautéing, stir-frying, soups, and vegetarian substitutes for seafood. 

HOW MUCH SPAWN TO BUY

The weight of your mushroom spawn ordered determines its intended use, so:

300g - Used to inoculate a sterilized/pasteurized block of 1.5 Kg

500g - For larger sterilized/pasteurized substrate inoculations of up to 2.5 Kg.

GROWING AND SUBSTRATE

For maximum results it is best that this mushroom is grown indoor within a hydroponics grow room/tent, but a clean area or dark corner where there is a decent amount of humidity, air exchange and constant temperatures could also be used.

A humidifier would help to monitor humidity. Do not put in direct sunlight and watch out for gnats.
