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.
