Phoenix Oyster Commercial Liquid Culture (200ml)

Phoenix Oyster Commercial Liquid Culture (200ml)

Scale your phoenix oyster (Pleurotus pulmonarius also known as Lung Oyster Indian Oyster) production with this 200ml commercial liquid culture jar. Phoenix oyster is a warm-weather cousin of the common oyster mushroom. This jar gives you lab-isolated genetics in a format designed for repeated sterile draws across large production batches. Made in Canada at our CFIA-licensed facility in Brantford, Ontario.

What's Included

• One 200ml mason jar with live phoenix oyster mycelium in sterile honey-water medium
• Self-healing injection port for clean, repeated culture draws
• Synthetic filter cap for continuous gas exchange
• Lab-isolated Pleurotus pulmonarius genetics

How to Use

Draw culture through the self-healing injection port using a sterile syringe. One 200ml jar provides enough culture to inoculate a full production run of grain jars or grow bags.

• Wipe the injection port with isopropyl alcohol before every draw
• Use a sterile 18-gauge needle and syringe
• Inject 2-5ml per grain jar or spawn bag
• Swirl the jar gently before drawing to ensure even mycelium distribution

Species Profile

Phoenix oyster is a warm-weather cousin of the common oyster mushroom. It produces light tan to cream-colored caps and tolerates higher temperatures than Pleurotus ostreatus, making it ideal for summer production when other oysters struggle. It colonizes aggressively and fruits prolifically on straw and hardwood substrates.

Growing Parameters

• Scientific name: Pleurotus pulmonarius
• Fruiting temperature: warm (15-28°C)
• Recommended substrate: straw, hardwood sawdust, agricultural waste

Why Commercial Size

The 200ml jar format lets you maintain genetic consistency across your entire spawn production line. One jar replaces dozens of individual syringes, and the self-healing injection port allows repeated draws without opening the jar — keeping contamination risk low and throughput high.
