Golden Oyster
Cultivation Difficulty: Easy
Type: Edible
Substrate: Pasteurized straw, hardwood chips and sawdust, various grains, newspaper and cardboard.
Colonization/Fruiting Temperatures: 75-85F/70-85F
Available In: 10cc liquid culture
The golden oyster is an attractive fast growing mushroom that fruits on a wide range of woody substrates. The mushrooms grow in clusters of small, thin fleshed, funnel-shaped yellow caps.
Known for their delicate texture and mild, nutty flavor, Golden Oysters are perfect for gourmet cooking. Our isolated cultures ensure quick colonization and reliable growth. Ideal for both beginner and experienced growers. Order your Golden Oyster culture today!
The flavor improves dramatically with thorough cooking. Mushrooms tend to be bitter and sour when raw or undercooked.
The golden oyster is not as productive as other oyster mushrooms, so expect only about two flushes before the substrate is exhausted. The temperature must be at least 65F to initiate fruiting. These mushrooms also need plenty of fresh air to develop normally. High carbon dioxide levels from mushroom metabolism will accumulate in sealed growing environments and may reduce cap size severely. We’ve found the golden oyster to be tempermental, and not reliable enough for scaled up production. It is best suited as a novelty mushroom grown for the unique coloration of the fruits.
Golden oyster mushroom sawdust spawn blocks are avaialble seasonally for those that want to play with this variety and not invest the time in tissue culturing or starting from scratch.
