Description
This species generates a heavy yield of many mushrooms. Large caps and short stems can be achieved with low carbon dioxide levels, creating the optimum mushroom. Mushroom bodies may last up to 14 days after harvest in the fridge.
Our grain formula contains the optimum levels of nitrogen required for quick growth of mycelium as well as a high number of inoculation points. Weights of bags are approximated.
We aim to have all our Grow Kit ready to dispatch whenever there is an order, but because it is a live mycelium sometimes dispatch may take longer. We will get in touch if this is the case.
Note: The described information has been tested thoroughly and the optimum conditions have been listed. Because of this, results may vary if the appropriate conditions are not met.
Cultivation Information
Species: Pleurotus ostreatus
