Golden Oyster

€12.49

The Golden Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) is a fast-growing gourmet variety known for its vibrant yellow caps, delicate texture, and rich, nutty flavour.
It is well suited to home and small-scale mushroom cultivation, producing dense clusters that look impressive and cook beautifully.​

Growth parameters

  • Recommended substrates: Hardwood sawdust, straw, cardboard and other cellulose-rich mixes

  • Colonisation temperature: 18°C – 24°C

  • Pinning temperature: 18°C – 30°C

  • Pinning humidity: Around 95%

  • Fruiting temperature: 18°C – 30°C (59°F – 75°F)

  • Fruiting humidity: 80% – 95%

What’s included

  • 10 ml liquid culture syringe containing vigorous, living mycelium of Golden Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus citrinopileatus)

  • Sterile alcohol wipe

  • 18G sterile needle for easy inoculation of your chosen substrate or mushroom grow kit

  • All components sealed in a secure zip-lock bag for clean, safe storage and transport

What is liquid culture?

Golden Oyster liquid culture is a nutrient-rich, sterilised broth made from distilled water combined with light malt extract, dextrose, and honey, formulated to feed and expand the mycelium.
The actively growing mycelium in this solution acts like mushroom “seed,” allowing you to quickly inoculate grain spawn, bulk substrates, or ready-made mushroom grow kits for fast colonisation and reliable harvests.​

Storage and shelf life

For best results, use your Golden Oyster liquid culture as soon as possible to maximise freshness, vigour, and yield potential.
If you cannot use it right away, store the syringe in the refrigerator, where it can typically be kept for up to 3 months while maintaining good viability.​

Quality and lab standards

All liquid cultures are routinely tested on agar and grain to confirm purity, strong growth, and consistent strain performance.
Each Golden Oyster liquid culture is prepared fresh to order in a controlled laboratory environment, with all work carried out under a flow hood to ensure clean, contamination-free cultures for reliable mushroom cultivation.​
