Species Profile

Yellow Oyster (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) is amongst the most beautiful of culinary mushrooms to cultivate.

Yellow Oysters are fast growing, producing beautiful bouquets of relatively small delicate mushrooms. Native to subtropical hardwood forests, they grow best in warmer temperatures (22oC to 30oC).

Description

Our 1kg bags of grain spawn are grown using mycelium cultures in our lab. We use sterilized organic rye grain sourced from the Canadian prairies through Grainworks. We make your spawn to order.

We incubate your freshly made spawn between 2-4 weeks to ensure it is strong and healthy. We then ship via Canada Post or notify you for pickup.

Use

Grain spawn must be mixed
with a bulk substrate to fruit mushrooms.

We recommend:

Beginner growers: Use oyster mushroom grain spawn to inoculate
pasteurized substrates such as straw, hardwood sawdust or coffee grounds in filter bags and small buckets (<1 gallon). At a 10% inoculation rate, 1 bag of grain spawn (1kg) will inoculate about 5 1-gallon buckets with pastuerized substrate.

Experienced growers: Use this spawn to inoculate sterilized nutrified sawdust in filter bags. At a 10% inoculation rate, 1 bag of grain spawn (1kg) will inoculate about 10 to 12 14A Unicorn filter bags of sterilized substrate.

Education

If you are new to growing, we highly recommend you take a workshop or buy a book on mushroom cultivation.

Care information

If you do not plan to use your spawn immediately, store it in a clean, undisturbed corner of your fridge for up to 6 weeks.
