Mushroom Liquid Culture - King Oyster (Pleurotus eryngii)

Great LC ! Grew super quick on MEA both in a slant and on a Petri dish with no contaminants. Haven’t transferred yet, but so far so good!

I took a long shot ordering a liquid culture in Duluth, MN in early march and sure enough it had frozen solid which I expected considering the temps we had that week. A brief description of this series of events and an open ended "I messed up, but if you want to send again would be nice... In roughly a week I the I had a new culture in my hands in perfect condition. I will try to update with pictures when I have something worth taking a picture of.

It colonized appropriately and fast on agar.

Never produced. Took forever to start growing. Have changed environment on multiple substrate mixes with no results. Not the only mushroom I produce and not my fist time with this strain. Very disappointing

Mycelium is spreading very nicely.No contamination at all!

This is my first time growing them and wow they are every where and I know I'm not that good so it must be there generics

The Chestnut culture I ordered seems to colonize much faster maybe that's normal as I'm new to mycology. Perhaps this culture can't handle slightly colder temps like the chestnut can. I currently don't have a dedicated incubation chamber so they are colonizing in temps ranging from 68-73 which is room temp for me. It seems to have taken very well to the liquid culture jar at the same temp though.

Amazing culture! Had visible growth in no time! Nice thick broth with tons of suspension!!
