Sustainable
Mycelium is extremely sensitive to temperature changes and transport conditions. Mushroom plug spawn is alive with mushroom mycelium. That’s why we strongly recommend shipping plug spawn via Express Post.
Dispatch
We ship orders Monday to Thursday. We do not dispatch plug spawn on Fridays to avoid it being in transit over weekends due to its heat sensitve nature. Any orders placed on Thursday after 12pm or Friday will be dispatched the following Monday.
Please note this applies to all orders, including Express Post shipments.

Species name: Pleurotus ostreatus
This variety of Pleurotus ostreatus forms large caps with strong stems. Colour varies from a creamy white when grown at warm temperatures, to a dark caramel when grown in cold temperatures. The colour can vary so greatly that it looks like a completely different variety depending on growing conditions.
The Warm White Oyster is an extremely vigorous variety and a great one for beginners. This variety can be grown in a broad range of temperatures including warmer temperatures up to 30°C, perfect for home growers.
This variety has a heavy spore load.
We recommend using 50 plugs for a log of 100 - 150mm in diameter and 1000mm in length.
Ideal log size is 100 - 150mm diameter and no less than 600mm in length.
Use only freshly cut hardwood logs, 3-5 days old.
Best species of hardwood for mushroom cultivation include:
Incubation period: 6 - 12 months (log cultivation is a long game). Once colonised your log can fruit seasonally for 5 or more years.
Incubation conditions: Keep your logs somewhere shaded, protected from the wind and a cool temperature. Keep them moist, don't let them dry out. Keep them off the ground otherwise competitor fungi might take over.
Pinning temperature: 10 - 24°C
Pinning humidity: 90 - 95% relative humidity
Fruiting temperature:
Range: 10 - 30°C
Ideal: 18 - 24°C
Fruiting humidity: 85 - 90% relative humidity
CO2 concentration: 500 - 800 ppm
Important note: these growing guidelines are drawn from our years of experience as commercial mushroom growers. They are a guide only. We encourage experimentation to discover what works best for your individual conditions.
