About This Item

Blue Oyster Liquid Culture Syringe | High-Quality Pleurotus ostreatus Culture

Blue Oyster Liquid Culture Syringe

The Blue Oyster mushroom is one of the most common of the oyster mushrooms used in cuisine worldwide. Young specimens have a blueish color on their caps, which changes to grey tones upon maturing. Not only is the Blue Oyster mushroom delicious, but it's one of the easier varieties of oyster mushrooms to grow.

Perfect for Beginners

High-Quality Isolated Culture

Pleurotus ostreatus

This mushroom grows on a wide range of substrates including straw (wheat, rye, oat, rice, and barley straw), corn, coffee grounds, banana waste, most hardwoods and hardwood by-products like sawdust and paper, compost, and much more. It truly thrives throughout temperate regions of the world and prefers colder temperatures compared to other oyster mushrooms. Blue Oyster mushrooms love low temperature drops and do best when morning lows are around the 40’s and 50’s.

The Spore Genetics Blue Oyster Liquid Culture Syringe offers an exceptional opportunity for those interested in cultivating the highly sought-after Pleurotus ostreatus var. columbinus, commonly known as the Blue Oyster mushroom. This syringe contains a live, isolated biological sample that has been meticulously nurtured, tested, and expanded at Spore Genetics to ensure it is 100% contaminate-free. The culture syringe features a high-output isolated sub-strain, optimized for maximum yield and reduced incubation time. Each purchase includes a sterile, individually packaged hypodermic needle, ideal for substrate injection.

Blue Oyster mushrooms thrive on a variety of substrates, such as sterilized hardwood logs, supplemented sawdust blocks, pasteurized straw, and other cellulose products. Additionally, petri dishes with malt extract agar and dextrose agar, along with spawn options such as rye berries, millet, oats, and corn, are great options.

This species requires cold temperatures for successful fruiting, with an incubation temperature range of 70°F - 80°F over 12-14 days, and a fruiting temperature range of 55°F - 65°F with humidity levels of 85% - 93%. The Blue Oyster mushroom is best suited for a high CO2 environment, which enhances the color and shape of the fruiting bodies. With a pinning time of 4-10 days and a total fruiting time of 14-18 days, this species is perfect for beginners with a general understanding of mushroom cultivation.

Additional Strain Information

A liquid culture is a method of mushroom propagation in which the mycelium (the vegetative part of the mushroom) is grown in a liquid nutrient solution rather than on a solid substrate like agar. This allows for faster growth and easier propagation of the mycelium.

To create a Blue Oyster Liquid Culture, spores or a small amount of mycelium from a mature mushroom culture are added to a nutrient solution containing sugars, amino acids, and other necessary nutrients. The mixture is then agitated or shaken to distribute the spores or mycelium throughout the liquid.

The Blue Oyster Liquid Culture is then used to inoculate a substrate, such as sawdust, straw, or other plant material, which provides a food source for the mycelium to grow and produce fruiting bodies (mushrooms). The substrate is usually sterilized to prevent contamination from other microorganisms.

Overall, using a Liquid Culture to propagate Blue Oyster Mushrooms can be a fast and efficient method for mushroom cultivation.
