Difficulty: Beginners – High yielding, fast grower and easy to fruit
Application: Edible, common commercial strain, widely grown.
Characteristics: Medium to large-cap oyster mushroom, with a dark basalt top colour.
Temperature Range: Cool strain, will fruit on 10-26°c temperature range (Best 16-20°c )
Cooking: Suitable for any dish you would consider using mushrooms in including stir fries, pastas, curries, pies and pizzas. A characteristic of this mushroom is while cooking it doesn’t release much liquid like button mushrooms, becoming a meaty, quite filling final ingredient. Ideal for pizzas, one will not need to stir fry this mushroom before topping a pizza as it doesn’t release much liquid.
