King Blue Oyster
The Premium King Blue Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii x columbinus) is a gourmet hybrid renowned for its meaty texture, rich flavour, and impressive, thick fruiting bodies.
It produces dense, fibrous mycelium and performs exceptionally well in cooler, temperate climates, making it an excellent choice for both home and small-scale commercial growers.
Growth parameters
Recommended substrates: Supplemented hardwood sawdust, straw, or blends including coffee grounds and agricultural byproducts
Colonisation temperature: 16°C – 20°C (60°F – 68°F)
Pinning temperature: 14°C – 18°C (57°F – 64°F)
Fruiting temperature: 15°C – 21°C (59°F – 70°F)
Fruiting humidity: 85% – 95%
Fresh air exchange: Essential to prevent excess CO₂ build-up and promote proper cap development
What’s included
10 ml liquid culture syringe containing active King Blue Oyster mycelium
Sterile alcohol wipe
18G sterile needle for easy inoculation into your chosen sterile media or grow kit
All components securely packaged in a zip-lock bag for safe, clean handling
What is liquid culture?
King Blue Oyster liquid culture is a nutrient-rich, sterilised broth made from distilled water, malt extract, dextrose, and honey, formulated to support rapid mycelial expansion.
This living culture acts as a powerful “seed” inoculant, ideal for preparing grain spawn or directly inoculating bulk substrates for fast colonisation and high-yield mushroom production.
Storage and quality standards
For best results, use the King Blue Oyster liquid culture promptly to ensure maximum vitality and performance.
If storage is required, keep the syringe refrigerated at 2–4°C for up to 3 months; each culture is lab-tested for purity and prepared fresh to order using aseptic techniques under laminar flow, delivering reliable, vigorous mycelium for growers at all levels.
