6 reviewsGOLDEN OYSTER MUSHROOM CULTIVATION
Pleurotus citrinopileatus: This tropical Oyster strain thrives in warm weather. It produces beautiful clusters with yellow caps that are a favorite at farmers' markets.
Check out our Spawn FAQ to figure out what type of logs you can use!
Plug Spawn - Great for first time mushroom log growers. They are usually used for small projects of 1-10 logs, though some log cultivators will use them for larger projects. Plug Spawn comes in 100, 500, and 1000 ct. bags.
Inoculation:
On Logs - Prefers Log, Stump, and Totem methods. Colonization is fast and should start producing in 4-12 months. Golden Oyster is a tropical species and prefers to fruit in the summer months. They also prefer softer hardwoods such as poplar and aspen.
Difficulty: Beginner
Golden Oysters are a great mushroom for beginners. They are reliable producers during the warmer months and can be produced commercially.
Cooking: Golden Oysters can easily replace button mushrooms in most recipes and pair well with many cuisines and flavors. Like all Oyster mushrooms, they retain water and may develop a viscous texture when undercooked. If you prefer a firm or dryer texture, continue to cook Golden Oysters until their liquid has reduced and cooked off and they begin to brown. Golden Oyster mushrooms develop a cashew-like flavor when cooked to a slightly crispy texture.
Properties: The Golden Oyster mushroom has a high protein content, several B vitamins, and all the essential amino acids (Marley, 2009). Its medicinal benefits include promoting anti-tumor activity and lowering high cholesterol. Oyster mushroom fruiting bodies and distillations have been shown to reduce tumor size in several studies on mice, rats, and hamsters (Hobbs, 1995). Additionally, Oyster mushrooms have been used in the Czech Republic as the main ingredient in a dietary supplement used to treat high cholesterol (Hobbs, 1995). Studies in animals have shown that a diet of Oyster mushrooms reduced the development of plaque in major arteries (Bobek et al., 1995).

I've recently ordered several different mushroom plug spawn. One of my favorite is the golden oyster. Received all the plug spawn from north spore in very good condition and actively growing. I recommend this product.
I just finished plugging 200 logs. North Spore has a great web site. I purchased 3000 plugs different verities and am excited about these golden oysters. Every order this year I made from North Spore has been nothing but quality and professional. I have just started using North Spore products and I am definitely going to be purchasing more. Thanks North Spore
Shipment came quickly with good instructions. Haven't inoculated these yet but did a round of blue oysters, shiitake & wine caps this spring. Shiitake logs are already producing! Great company and wonderful products.
My wife and I purchased the shiitake plugs last fall and have had an abundance of growth, with little to maintain. It couldn't have been easier! Looking forward to seeing how this variety produces next year!
Everything arrived very quickly. The instructions were easy to follow and we now have inoculated logs! Excited to see what they produce
