{"product_id":"phoenix-oyster-mushroom-spawn","title":"Phoenix Oyster Mushroom Spawn, 1 Quart Jar","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePhoenix Oyster Mushroom (\u003cem\u003ePleurotus pulmonarius\u003c\/em\u003e) Grain Master\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat a G1 Grain Master Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use This Jar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePhoenix Oyster Growing Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoenix 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpawn run\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72 to 80F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrain colonization\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 to 14 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFruiting temperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65 to 80F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSubstrates\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaster's Mix, pasteurized straw, supplemented hardwood sawdust\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeginner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeason\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarm season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage and Shelf Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefrigerates well at 35 to 40F despite being a warm season fruiter.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the rest of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.out-grow.com\/collections\/mushroom-spawn\"\u003emushroom spawn collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"og-internal-links\" style=\"margin-top:16px;padding:16px;background:#f7f4ef;border-top:2px solid #c8d4c4;font-family:'Source Serif 4',Georgia,serif;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:'Libre Baskerville',serif;color:#1a2e1a;margin:0 0 10px;font-size:1.1rem;\"\u003eRelated Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:6px 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mushroom-spawn\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eMushroom Spawn Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/mushroom-species\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eMushroom Species Library\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/phoenix-oyster-pleurotus-pulmonarius\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ePhoenix Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus pulmonarius) Species Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/how-to-grow-phoenix-oyster-mushroom-pleurotus-pulmonarius\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ePhoenix Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus pulmonarius) Grow Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"og-internal-links\" style=\"margin-top:16px;padding:16px;background:#f7f4ef;border-top:2px solid #c8d4c4;font-family:'Source Serif 4',Georgia,serif;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-family:'Libre Baskerville',serif;color:#1a2e1a;margin:0 0 10px;font-size:1.1rem;\"\u003eRelated Mushroom Spawn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:6px 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/gold-oyster-mushroom-spawn\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eGolden Oyster Mushroom Spawn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pink-oyster-mushroom-spawn\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ePink Oyster Mushroom Spawn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pearl-oyster-mushroom-spawn\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003ePearl Oyster Mushroom Spawn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/king-oyster-mushroom-grain-spawn\" style=\"color:#4a6e42;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eKing Oyster Mushroom Spawn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Out-Grow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50439878770881,"sku":"OG-SPAWN-QT-PHOENIXOYSTER","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/7287\/5201\/files\/phoenix-oyster-mushroom-grain-spawn-quart-jar.webp?v=1785009002","url":"https:\/\/www.out-grow.com\/products\/phoenix-oyster-mushroom-spawn","provider":"Out Grow","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
