The Pleurotus Ostreatus is better known as the Oyster Mushroom, a mushroom renowned for its popularity in the kitchen. The name for this mushroom comes from the Latin pleurotus, meaning sideways and Ostreatus¸ meaning oyster. You can begin growing your ‘sideways oysters’ as soon as they hit your doorstep, as our fresh living spawn is ready for inoculation upon arrival.
Our strains are selected for their high yield, vibrant colours, and strong flavours. We can ensure these factors due to our incredibly low generational number. The lower the generation of the spawn, the nearer to the original spore sample, so at only the fourth generation, this spawn is guaranteed to be high-quality and dependable.
With our oyster mushroom spawn plugs you can have both an enjoyable grow experience and enjoy your gourmet mushroom meal at the end of the project! Features
