Phoenix Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus pulmonarius) Grain Master
For sale is a 1-quart jar of Phoenix 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 Phoenix culture for warm weather production. It is a different species from the blue, brown and pearl group, and it keeps producing at temperatures where those strains stall.
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
Standard handling: rest, break, recover, transfer. Phoenix is the strain to expand in summer when your grow room will not hold a cool spawn run. It spawns to bulk on the same substrates as the ostreatus group.
Phoenix Oyster Growing Conditions
Phoenix colonizes grain in 10 to 14 days at 72 to 80F and fruits from 65 to 80F, which makes it the summer oyster in this collection. Caps run smaller and stems longer than Pearl or Blue, with a paler cream to light tan colour. It handles heat that would shut down a cool season oyster, so it is the honest answer for growers in warm climates or anyone working without climate control between June and September. Substrates are the same as the rest of the oysters: Master's Mix, straw, or supplemented hardwood sawdust.
| Spawn run | 72 to 80F |
|---|---|
| Grain colonization | 10 to 14 days |
| Fruiting temperature | 65 to 80F |
| Substrates | Master's Mix, pasteurized straw, supplemented hardwood sawdust |
| Difficulty | Beginner |
| Season | Warm season |
Storage and Shelf Life
Refrigerates well at 35 to 40F despite being a warm season fruiter. Bring it to room temperature for a day before use. Do not freeze.
In the Kitchen
Thinner and more delicate than the ostreatus group, with a slightly aniseed note. Best in quick preparations that do not overwhelm it.
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.
