North Spore Blue Oyster Mushroom Sawdust Spawn, 5.5 lb

Blue Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) is a fast substrate colonizer with a strong bluish-gray hue. It produces richly umami mushrooms with a soft, meaty texture that pairs well with most dishes. Oyster mushrooms are great for beginners because they colonize quickly and are reliable producers. As our most productive oyster strain, they are reliable, cold-tolerant, and fruit prolifically in early spring or late fall. They are also ideal for commercial cultivation, especially when grown on straw. 

Recommended use:

• Blue oyster sawdust spawn can be used for log projects and/or outdoor beds, containers, and buckets.
• Sawdust spawn is ideal for larger log projects of 10 or more logs.
• This is not a mushroom grow kit. Blue oyster sawdust spawn must combined with a substrate (like straw) or used in log inoculation in order to fruit. 

Upon receiving your spawn:

Remove it from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive!
