Grow stunning pure Pearl Oysters right from your kitchen bench - this strain produces beautiful abundant mushroom clusters with lots of caps and excellent texture.
Pearl Oysters are the classic wild-type strain of Pleurotus Ostreatus. It produces attractive pearl-grey to light-blue caps (sometimes called Tree Oyster), with white gills and stems. This strain is a prolific producer often fully covering the bag as pictured. A reliable, vigorous, wood-loving side-fruiter, highly recommended commercial strain that tolerates a wide range of temperatures and growing conditions!
Simply cut the bag where marked and let them flourish. Handcrafted in North Canterbury using sustainable, locally sourced substrates, our 2kg kit is ideal for beginners, gourmet cooks, and eco-enthusiasts. With perfect growing conditions you can get up to 600-800g of edible mushrooms on the first flush off our 2kg grow kit.
Key Growing Conditions
- Temperature: Fruiting thrives at 10-30°C, making it suitable for varying growing conditions.
- Light: Indirect sunlight / reading level light. Avoid direct sun.
- Airflow: Oyster like fresh air and humidity - Growing in a bathroom works well. Avoid overly drafty areas.
