Day 1Colonize and Shake
Keep the bag at 20 to 25°C in a dark spot. When 50% colonized, shake to break up and redistribute the mycelium for faster, even coverage.
Days 7 to 21Harvest and Enjoy
Once fully colonized, introduce fresh air and humidity. Pins appear within days. Harvest just before the caps fully open for the best flavour and yield.
Days 21 to 35Only what your mushrooms actually need.
Which mushrooms can you grow?
King Oyster Agar Culture 90mm
A fully colonized 90mm agar plate containing a direct clone of our Pleurotus eryngii mother culture - the same King Oyster genetics we use in our own mushroom farm production at Freshrooms.
Why Freshrooms Agar Cultures
This is not an isolated wild culture. Every plate is a direct clone of our in-house mother culture, maintained and tested for purity on a continuous basis. What you receive is the exact genetics we rely on to grow mushrooms on our own farm.
About King Oyster
King Oyster is prized for its thick, meaty stem and firm texture - one of the most versatile gourmet mushrooms for cooking. It colonizes steadily and produces impressive, long-lasting fruiting bodies with excellent shelf life after harvest.
How to Use This Plate
Option 1 - Expand on agar: Transfer a wedge to a fresh MYA Agar Plate to multiply your culture or isolate sectors.
