Pleurotus ostreatus var columbinus
AKA Blue Oyster
Prefers colder temps (50-60°F is best) than a standard pearl oyster (60-75°F).
All gourmet liquid cultures (LCs) are provided with a 16g needle (in the manufacturer’s packaging) and come in 10 mL capped syringes. They will be labelled on the plunger and are grown in a 1-2% malt extract solution. Shake well before use.
Ordered blue oysters first time, package arrived quickly and in great condition, is colonizing quickly can’t wait to put to fruiting and finally have my own gourmet mushrooms at home!

This blue oyster liquid culture inoculated fast! I put it in corn kernels and it was showing growth two days later! 80 percent inoculation 8 days later. Excited about it going to fruit! Thanks again MMM.

I purchased one of these syringes to start my at home collection and wow was I impressed!! The syringe came in completely contaminant free and I am on my way to first flush of oysters. I am so excited! I chose to pay in cash and MMM made it super convenient and as prompt as any other payment method. Will be coming back for some more LC Gourmet syringes!
I am blown away by how fast this grows! Innocolated jars on 5/1 and full colonized one week later in higher than preferred temperature in this pnw heat wave that we have. Highly recommended for beginners

The Blue Oyster and Sporeless Oyster syringes I received are both growing impressively fast in a fresh batch of LC, on agar, and on mixed grain. I'm excited to get them into a larger growth medium soon.

Everything I ordered was great the blue oyster are very aggressive. Sadly the king oysters I ordered I couldn't get anything but bacteria when putting it to agar. Not sure why that was the only one doing that but all in all a great vendor.

I ordered this syringe for use with all in one grow bags. I'm still new to mycology but it's turning out to be a fun hobby to learn about. This syringe was easy to use. Payment was also a breeze using Mesh and this vendor offers several payment methods that are clearly explained in the directions. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

I've been working with cultures for a few years now and find these to be very consistent and more so than others I've purchased from other vendors. Service is great and the product also.

I've ordered from this seller many times, and have consistently received sterile packaging, in a timely fashion, and clean, observable, bacteria-free spores. Seller has a fascinating variety of mycological species that are really amazing to study under the scope. Excellent microscopy specimens. Great communication, too, if I have questions. I highly recommend this seller for your microscopy lab needs.
