Product Details
King Blue Oyster Mushroom Liquid Culture 3cc Syringe
Bring home a versatile oyster mushroom hybrid with this king blue oyster 3cc liquid culture syringe. This Pleurotus ostreatus hybrid combines the robust growth habit of blue oysters with improved stem structure, producing thick-stemmed clusters that hold up well in the kitchen. Lab-isolated genetics, made in Canada at our CFIA-licensed facility in Brantford, Ontario.
What You Get
- One 3cc syringe containing live king blue oyster mycelium in sterile honey-water medium
- Lab-isolated hybrid genetics — clean, vigorous, and ready to grow
- Sealed for immediate inoculation or refrigerated storage
How to Use
This mushroom culture syringe is straightforward to work with:
- Inoculate grain spawn — inject into sterilized grain jars or bags to create your own king blue oyster spawn
- Transfer to agar — drop onto pre-made agar plates for isolation work, sector selection, or archiving your culture
- Expand into liquid culture — add to sterile nutrient broth to multiply your culture before large-scale inoculation
Best results come from working in a still air box or laminar flow hood. Sterilize injection ports and work surfaces with isopropyl alcohol.
Species Profile
King blue oyster is a hybrid within the Pleurotus ostreatus complex, selected for its balance of fast colonization, cold tolerance, and meatier stem structure compared to standard blue oysters. It produces attractive blue-grey caps on sturdy white stems and performs well on supplemented hardwood sawdust or straw. This is an excellent choice for growers who want a versatile, high-yielding oyster variety.
Storage & Shelf Life
Store in the refrigerator at 2-8°C. The culture stays viable for several months, but inoculating within 60 days will give you the fastest colonization times. Let the syringe warm to room temperature before use.
