Classification: Edible, Medicinal Cultivation Difficulty: Easy Substrates: Spawn bags; Straw; Wood chips, sawdust; Newspaper, cardboard Temperature: Colonizing / Fruiting – 70-75 / 60-70 Strain Origin: Western Europe Potential health benefits: antibacterial, lower cholesterol and immune booster! Description: Liquid Culture. Blue Oysters fruit easily on a wide range of substrates and are good candidates for recycling wood and paper waste into edible mushrooms. As with all Oyster mushrooms, Blue Oysters need plenty of fresh air to develop normally. High carbon dioxide levels from mushroom metabolism will accumulate in sealed growing environments and can reduce cap size and elongate stems severely. Fruiting in open humidity chambers with frequent fresh air exchange will produce best possible yields.
