Lung oyster mushroom, Italian oyster mushroom (Pleurotus pulmonarius)
This variety of oyster mushroom is easy to grow and suitable for both beginners and professionals. Its aggressive mycelium considerably reduces the risk of contamination. It is often grown in summer because it tolerates high temperatures better than oyster mushrooms. However, it can also be grown in winter, offering better quality and better conservation of mushrooms. With a rapid growth cycle, incubation typically takes 10 to 15 days, followed by regular, predictable fruiting.
The caps measure between 3 and 7 cm, with colors varying from light brown to dark brown, depending on growing conditions. The plants are generally smaller than those of Pleurotus ostreatus and tend to grow singly rather than in clusters.
❄️ Mycelium conservation: 1 month in the refrigerator.

📊 Culture Settings
Inoculation: 5-10% mycelium on grains /moist substrate
| Phase | Temperature | Duration | Humidity | Light | CO2 | Fresh air |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Incubation | 20-29°C | 10-24 days. Colonization is much faster on straw than on sawdust. | - | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Initiation of primordia | 10-20°C | 3-5 days | 95-100% | 1000-2000 lux | 500-800 ppm | 5 to 10 volumes/h |
| Fructification | 10-30°C | 3-8 days, depending on the temperatures | 85-95% | 1000-2000 lux | 500-800 ppm | 5 to 10 volumes/h |
📚 This data comes from the book “Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms” by P. Stamets. They are given as an indication, each myciculturist having particular growing conditions, there may be individual variations.
📈 Productivity
Average harvest of 150-250 g of fresh mushrooms per 1 kg of wet substrate, over 2 to 3 harvests.

L’incubation est en cours
J'ai été bluffé par le mycélium très agressif ! Je l'ai trouvé plus agressif que le pleurotes gris et jaune.
Le pulmonaire est très tolérant vis-à-vis des conditions de culture, parfait pour débuter.
grows well in my home-made substrate
Comme toujours avec la mycosphere, tout était parfait.
