Mushroom cultivation kit for Blue Oyster Mushroom

Blue oyster mushroom (Pleurotus columbinus)

Blue oyster mushroom is a cold-growing oyster mushroom that has a bluish tone in its early stages, which turns gray. It has a mild flavor and firm texture that makes it excellent for frying. It is especially popular in northern climates due to its cold tolerance.

Cultivation recommendations:

The optimal temperature for blue oyster mushroom spawn is 10-18 °C but can also be grown at normal room temperature.

The kit contains:

1 mushroom growing bag with sterile and pre-mixed substrate
1 bag of mushroom mycelium
Detailed instructions

Storage before use:

The mycelium should be used within 6 months of delivery and should be stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to start growing.

After harvest:

When the growing block no longer produces mushrooms, it should be sorted as burnable waste – especially important if you have grown mushrooms that do not occur naturally in Sweden, such as yellow or pink oyster mushrooms. This helps protect our native mushroom flora. The growing kit can be used to start an outdoor cultivation. Check out our growing guide for how to use a used growing kit for outdoor cultivation.
