The Elm Oyster mushroom is a relatively uncommon species of Oyster mushroom. Closely resembling Pleurotus Oyster Mushrooms, but held consensus is that Elm Oysters are superior in flavour and texture.
Yields can be far greater than Pleurotus Oyster species. Grown indoors on supplemented hardwood sawdust, you can expect a Biological Efficiency of 100-200%.
As opposed to Pleurotus Oysters, H ulmarius should not be harvested too early, as it will continue to increase in mass past the broad-convex cap upturn which usually signifies peak maturity of Oysters. Even fully mature Elm Oysters are superior in terms of edibility to Pleurotus of any maturity.
Most commonly found growing on Elms, beech, maple, willow, and oak.
This strain fruits from 13-18˚c.
