Description

Our Premium King Oyster Mushroom Grain Spawn is perfect for growing sumptuous, meaty, and intensely flavourful King Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii). Our strain is selectively bred to yield bountiful flushes of delectable mushrooms that offer a sensorial delight, rich in earthy aroma and savoury undertones.

Though King Oyster Mushrooms are often considered more advanced to cultivate than other oyster varieties, they excel in cooler climates and benefit from attentive humidity management, especially in early growth stages. These specific requirements make them perfect for cultivators seeking hands-on growing experience. Meeting these conditions will reward you with a unique taste and aroma that other mushroom types simply can't compete with.

Key Features

  • Selectively bred for high yield and superior taste and aroma.
  • Optimised for cooler climates with specific humidity needs.
  • Resistant to bacterial infections for reliable cultivation.
  • Suitable for up to two flushes, with yields of 150-180g per kg of fresh substrate.
  • Thrives in a variety of hardwood substrates
