Yellow Oyster Mushroom (pleurotus citrinopileatus): A mushroom native to Asia.
Yellow oyster mushrooms are rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, adding nutritional value to your meals. They also contain ergothioneine, a natural amino acid, as well as beta-glucans.
The yellow oyster mushroom has a unique flavor reminiscent of citrus fruits, with a more tender and delicate texture than its cousin, the gray oyster mushroom.
The yellow oyster mushroom is a tropical variety that fruits naturally when temperatures reach 18 to 25°. It withstands small frosts without problems.
Inter-season cultivation: We produce this variety mainly in the inter-seasons (early autumn - spring) because it appreciates the heat.
Robustness: Resistant variety, it is less subject to contamination.
Caps: The caps measure between 3 and 7 cm and their color varies from bright yellow to pale yellow depending on the growing conditions.
❄️ Mycelium conservation: 1 month in the refrigerator (1-4°C).

Our commitment to quality:

We produce our mycelia in laboratory conditions, which guarantees the purity of the varieties and optimal quality.

We produce our myceliums in a 100% organic way and all our products are certified "BE-BIO-01, Agriculture Belgium" by CERTISYS.

🌱 Growing conditions
Yellow oyster mushrooms require more heat than other varieties. They grow well between 15 and 25°C. Maintain high humidity at the start of fruiting. Avoid drafts and stress to ensure beautiful yellow coloring, which develops best with good light.
🛠️ Substrates
In indoor cultivation: Use pasteurized straw, pasteurized sawdust or other lignocellulosic materials.
We recommend our organic straw pellets which work particularly well with oyster mushrooms, by simply adding 1 teaspoon of lime and 2 liters of cold water per kg of pellets.
Our wood sawdust-based substrate suitable for lignivorous varieties will work very well too.
