About This Item

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

Pearl Oyster Liquid Culture Syringe

The Pearl Oyster mushroom, also known as the tree oyster mushroom, is a common edible mushroom. It was first cultivated in Germany as a subsistence measure during World War I and is now grown commercially around the world for food. It is related to the similarly cultivated king oyster mushroom and can also be used industrially for mycoremediation purposes.

Perfect for First-Time Cultivators

High-Quality Isolated Culture

Pleurotus ostreatus

The Pearl Oyster is our best-selling strain for first mushroom cultivators. It grows luxuriantly and consistently produces large, graceful bouquets indoors on pasteurized straw. It is savory, dense, and meaty, but not tough or fishy like some of its close relatives, and it has a substantially longer shelf life. It has consistently earned some of the highest marks from our customers, who find it approachable yet exotic, and always ask for more.

In addition to being a wonderful candidate for commercial indoor cultivation, this is one of the most imminently rewarding varieties to grow outside, producing massive mushrooms when given the chance to sprawl in the open air on logs, stumps, and wood chip beds. Given its robust metabolic prowess and culinary desirability, the Pearl Oyster is also a prime choice for myco-remediation projects and for closing waste loops in permaculture systems in climates where the winters are not too harsh.

This strain grows rampantly in culture and reacts quickly to neutralize pathogens, including nematodes. It would be a fun variety to experiment with adapting to novel food sources like pizza boxes, motor oil, and industrial wastewater.

What is a Pearl Oyster Liquid Culture?

Pearl Oyster Liquid Culture refers to a solution of sterile water or nutrient broth that contains living cells of the Pearl Oyster Mushroom that are capable of reproducing and forming mycelium. Liquid culture is a popular method for growing mushroom mycelium in a liquid environment, which can then be used for spawn production or inoculating substrates for fruiting. Pearl Oyster Liquid Culture can be created using a variety of techniques, including spore syringes, tissue culture, or clone culture. It is important to maintain sterile conditions during the creation and use of liquid culture to prevent contamination and ensure the growth of healthy mycelium.
