Our website does not contain specific cultivation information on this strain because unfortunately, we don’t have first-hand experience fruiting it.
For growing parameters, please consult a professional or specific literature.
We have optimized growing conditions for other Pleurotus strains. Why don’t you try growing it with the information from those?
Should you be successful in fruiting this species, please let us know your incubation / fruiting conditions so we can increase our cultivation database.
When we have gathered sufficient information, we will share it here.
