Pleurotus spodoleucus, a lesser-known but fascinating member of the Pleurotus genus, is known for its potential health benefits and its ability to grow on a wide variety of substrates. This species is typically found in temperate forests, growing on decaying wood, and has a unique appearance with its light-colored, often grayish caps. It is valued not only for its culinary applications but also for its potential medicinal properties, including immune support and anti-inflammatory effects.

Our Korean Oyster Liquid Culture Syringe contains a pure, carefully isolated sample of mycelium nurtured and expanded in our sterile laboratory. This 10 mL/cc syringe is ideal for inoculating substrates with precision and ensuring rapid colonization. Each syringe is guaranteed to be contaminant-free, ensuring a high success rate for your cultivation projects. We offer a free replacement if needed.

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

Incubate Petri dishes at 20-25°C (68-77°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 20-25°C (68-77°F) until fully colonized.
Pleurotus spodoleucus can be grown on a variety of lignocellulosic materials, including straw, sawdust, coffee grounds, and agricultural waste.

Ensure the substrate is properly pasteurized or sterilized to avoid contamination and to provide a nutrient-rich environment for the fungus.
The optimal temperature for mycelium growth is between 20-25°C (68-77°F).

For fruiting, lower the temperature to 15-20°C (59-68°F).
Maintain high humidity levels of 85-95% during both mycelium growth and fruiting stages.

Mist the substrate regularly to maintain adequate moisture levels.
Pleurotus spodoleucus requires light to initiate fruiting. Indirect sunlight or artificial light that simulates natural light is sufficient.

Provide 12 hours of light per day during the fruiting stage.
Proper air exchange is necessary to provide fresh air and to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide, which can inhibit the growth of the fungus.

Good ventilation also helps in maintaining appropriate humidity and temperature conditions.
The growth cycle of Pleurotus spodoleucus from inoculation to harvest can take approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

Colonization of the substrate typically takes 2-3 weeks, with fruiting bodies forming within 1-2 weeks after that.
The ideal pH range of the substrate for cultivating Pleurotus spodoleucus is typically between 5.5 and 6.5, with a slightly acidic to neutral environment being most conducive to growth.

Maintaining this pH range helps optimize the conditions for the mycelium to thrive and produce fruiting bodies efficiently. Adjusting the pH of your substrate according to these guidelines can significantly impact the success of your cultivation.
