Golden Oyster Mushroom - Pleurote Jaune

Pleurotus citrinopileatus is a most delectable oyster mushroom. Cook golden oyster mushrooms for longer or shorter times to experience a palette of flavours and garnish for a pop of colour. Summertime fruiting is a big challenge for the mushroom grower, golden oyster mushrooms fruit well during warmer temperature ranges.

Use plug spawn and sawdust spawn to inoculate hardwood logs like oak, elm and beech. Outside on logs, golden oyster mushrooms will fruit late spring and again late summer. Use 50 plugs per 40'' x 4'' log.

Grow grain spawn and sawdust spawn in substrate bags for a year-round supply of mushrooms. Place growing mushrooms in extra lighting or near a south facing window to achieve the deepest yellow colour.

Inoculate 4 lb. of sterilized grain with 10 mL of liquid culture.
