Sawdust spawn to setup outdoor garden beds for Grey Phoenix (Italian) Oyster mushrooms.
Grey oyster mushrooms are by far the easiest species of mushrooms to grow, tolerant of many temperature ranges and growing substrates. They can be grown indoors, but also do well growing in outdoor beds usually producing mushrooms from spring until autumn.
Patches can begin producing mushrooms in as little as 40 days and live for many years. Spawn is best used at 2KG per square metre of patch you want to setup.
This mushroom is a fast-colonizer, that produces very well on a wide range of substrates -- such as woodchip, sawdust, straw, fibrous plant-material like corn stalks and much more.
Oyster mushrooms decompose wood into soil and produce clusters of flat, oyster-resembling mushrooms. The mycelial growth (the mushroom roots) help break down woodchip quickly while locking in moisture for your plants/soil. The mushroom will also help break down dead plant material to build healthy soil.
Oyster mushrooms have been used by permaculturists for purposes such as improving soil quality, land stability and the bioremediation of contaminated soils. Enzymes secreted by the mushroom help break down any toxins in the soil and encourage beneficial bacteria.
If you are wanting to make Oyster mushroom log totems oyster you can also use this sawdust spawn to do so.
