Description
Golden Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) Grain Master
For sale is a 1-quart jar of Golden Oyster Mushroom Spawn. This is a generation 1 grain master mushroom spawn jar used for expansion of isolate mycelium, optimized for spawn run times and bio efficiency.
Out Grow has isolated this Golden Oyster culture for colour saturation and cluster count. It produces the bright canary yellow bouquets that make this species worth growing, and it holds that colour better than most commercial strains.
What a G1 Grain Master Is
A grain master is a jar of fully colonized grain made to be transferred, not consumed. Generation 1 means the mycelium in this jar came directly from one of our agar plates rather than from another bag of grain, so it sits one step from the culture library instead of three or four. That matters because every transfer is another opportunity for contamination to ride along, and because a G1 jar still has the full expansion runway ahead of it. One quart can seed several more quarts of sterile grain, and those can seed your bulk substrate.
How to Use This Jar
Rest, break, recover, transfer. Golden expands cleanly into fresh grain and spawns to bulk without complaint. Like Pink it is a warm season strain, so plan your spawn run accordingly.
Golden Oyster Growing Conditions
Golden colonizes grain in 10 to 14 days at 72 to 80F and fruits from 65 to 85F. It grows in tight bouquets of small bright yellow caps, often thirty or more to a cluster, which is what makes it a market favourite despite the yield being lower than a Pearl or Blue. The colour fades with age and with heat, so harvest young for the best appearance. It is fragile once picked and has one of the shortest post harvest shelf lives of any gourmet oyster, which is why you rarely see it in shops and why growing your own is the only way to eat it fresh.
| Spawn run | 72 to 80F |
|---|---|
| Grain colonization | 10 to 14 days |
| Fruiting temperature | 65 to 85F |
| Substrates | Master's Mix, pasteurized straw, supplemented hardwood sawdust |
| Difficulty | Beginner |
| Season | Warm season |
Storage and Shelf Life
Refrigerate at 35 to 40F. Return to room temperature for a day before transferring. Do not freeze.
In the Kitchen
Delicate, slightly nutty, and prone to crisping at the edges. Cook it hot and briefly. It is as much a plate presentation mushroom as an eating one.
Guarantee and Live Shipping
Every jar is inspected before it leaves our lab and guaranteed to arrive alive and contamination free. If it does not, photograph the jar sealed and unopened and contact us within 48 hours of delivery for a replacement or refund. Live spawn is temperature sensitive, so we hold shipments during extreme heat and cold rather than sending something that will not survive the trip.
