The Phoenix Oyster mushroom is a species of Oyster mushroom very similar to Pleurotus Ostreatus (Pearl Oyster). It is differentiated by its paler and smaller caps, and it develops more of a stem. It is also commonly known as the ‘Lung Oyster’ for its lung-like cap shape (hence ‘pulmonarius’).
This species prefers warm weather, fruiting in the wild during spring/summer. Fruiting on a wide range of substrates this species is highly adaptable and has been found fruiting on both hardwoods and conifers.
A great species for beginners, especially those living in warmer climates or wishing to grow in the summer when it would be too hot to fruit other species such as P ostreatus.
Yields can be great, and it is possible to achieve 4-5 flushes if well managed. It is possible to acheive a Biological Efficiency of 100-200%.
If picked at full maturity, their shelf-life is short, so as with other Oysters it is best to harvest before the cap fully flattens.
Collected in Europe, this strain fruits from 18-28˚c.
