Use potato dextrose agar (PDA) or malt extract agar (MEA) for initial culturing of the mycelium.

Incubate Petri dishes at 24-27°C (75-80°F) in a dark environment until fully colonized.
Grain spawn (oats, rye, millet, or sorghum) is recommended for inoculating the bulk substrate.

Sterilize the grains and inoculate with the colonized agar from the Petri dishes.

Incubate the grain spawn at 24-27°C (75-80°F) until fully colonized.
Pleurotus citrinopileatus can be grown on various lignocellulosic substrates such as straw, sawdust, and even cardboard.

A commonly used substrate is a mix of hardwood sawdust and wheat bran, or pasteurized straw.

Ensure proper sterilization or pasteurization of the substrate to avoid contamination.
Optimal temperature for mycelium growth: 24-27°C (75-80°F)

Optimal temperature for fruiting: 18-22°C (64-72°F)
Maintain high humidity levels of 85-95% during both mycelium growth and fruiting stages.

Mist the substrate regularly to maintain adequate moisture levels.
Golden Oyster mushrooms require light for proper development of fruiting bodies.

Low to moderate light conditions are sufficient, with indirect sunlight or artificial lighting being ideal.
Good air circulation is essential to prevent the buildup of CO2 and to provide fresh air, which is critical during the fruiting stage.

Ensure proper ventilation to maintain fresh air exchange.
Colonization of the substrate typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on environmental conditions.

Fruiting can be expected within 1-2 weeks after the substrate is fully colonized and conditions are adjusted for fruiting.

Total growing time from inoculation to harvest is approximately 4-6 weeks.
The ideal pH range for the substrate is between 6.0 and 7.0, which is slightly acidic to neutral.

Maintaining this pH range helps optimize the conditions for mycelium growth and fruiting.
