It belongs to the Pleurotus genus, which includes a number of other popular edible mushroom species such as Pleurotus eryngii (king oyster mushroom) and Pleurotus pulmonarius (phoenix oyster mushroom). Florida Oyster Mushrooms have a delicate, slightly sweet flavor and a velvety, soft texture. They are typically white or off-white in color and have a fan- or oyster-shaped cap that is attached to a stem. These mushrooms are commonly used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, stir-fries, and pasta, and can also be grilled or sautéed. They are high in protein and contain a number of important nutrients, including vitamins B and D, selenium, and potassium.

Fully colonized MEA agar wedge. This is a small specimen taken from an agar plate. The agar wedge is fully colonized with your mushroom culture. A colonized agar wedge is used in expanding the mushroom culture it is colonized with. When you receive your colonized agar wedge you can inoculate a whole agar plate, liquid culture or sterilized mushroom substrate with it, or store it for future use.

In some cases, depending on the culture you choose we may need to make it. Please allow at least 1 week business time for us to ship out your culture.
