Italian Oyster Mushroom 11 ml Liquid Culture Pleurotus pulmonarius Phoenix Oyster

11 ml Liquid culture of Italian oyster mushroom.

The Italian oyster (Pleurotus pulmonarius) looks very similar to its well-known cousin, the Pearl oyster (P. ostreatus) but with some key differences. The caps are smaller, and the mushroom is overall lighter in color.


The cultivation of Pleurotus pulmonarius is very similar to how one would cultivate other types of Pleurotus species like P. ostreatus by transferring mycelium from a petri plate onto grain and then transferring the grain spawn after the mycelium colonizes it to substrates of straw, wood chips, sawdust, cardboard, coffee grounds, and other cellulose-based substrates.

Italian oysters are great for beginners as they are reliable producers and tend to grow large flushes.

Storage: Room temperature for up to 6 months and can be refrigerated for over 12 months
