Schneesaitling (Pleurotus ostreatus) -- auch "Winterausternpilz" genannt -- ist eine beliebte, feste Austernpilzsorte. Sie haben einen süßlicheren Geschmack und ein süßlicheres Aroma als andere Austernpilze und behalten beim Kochen ihre Form und Textur. (Der Geschmack von Schneesaitlingen ist sehr mild, und manche beschreiben ihn sogar als leicht holzig und erdig.)

Schneesaitlinge sind ein großartiger Pilz für Anfänger. Sie besiedeln schnell und sind zuverlässige Produzenten. Sie sind auch eine kälteliebende Sorte, die in den kühleren Monaten Früchte trägt.

Empfohlene Anwendung:

  • Schneesaitling-Sägespänebrut kann für Stammprojekte und/oder Außenbeete, Container- und Eimerprojekte verwendet werden.
  • Schneesaitling-Sägespänebrut muss mit einem Substrat (wie Stroh) kombiniert oder bei der Stammbeimpfung verwendet werden, um Früchte zu tragen.
  • Bei der Zucht auf Stämmen beimpft ein Beutel Sägespänebrut zuverlässig 20 Stämme.

Schneesaitling-Stamm-Tabelle:

BESTE HOLZARTEN* Espe, Pappel, Tulpenbaum, Weide
WEITERE GEEIGNETE ARTEN Götterbaum, Erle, Linde, Buche, Birke, Eschenahorn, Rosskastanie, Chinesischer Talgbaum, Ulme, Zürgelbaum, Hopfenbuche, Zuckerahorn, Silberahorn, Maulbeerbaum, Palme, Birne, Sassafras, Amberbaum, Platane

Nach Erhalt Ihrer Brut:

Entnehmen Sie sie so schnell wie möglich aus dem Versandkarton. Klappen Sie dann die Oberseite des Beutels auf, um Platz für Luft zu schaffen. Es ist auch wichtig zu überprüfen und zu bestätigen, dass der Filterpatch nicht verstopft ist. Dies hilft dem Organismus zu atmen und weiterhin zu gedeihen!

Inoculation

Logs:

Snow oyster works well with the log, stump, and totem methods. Colonization is fast and should start producing in 4-12 months. They fruit best in the spring and fall and prefer softer hardwoods such as poplar and aspen, though they will also work on maple.

Outdoor beds:

Containers:

Storing

If you don’t plan to use your snow oyster sawdust spawn right away, store in the refrigerator. Use within 6 months of receipt.

Cooking

Snow 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 them until their liquid has reduced and cooked off and they begin to brown.

Ingredients

All our spawn is made using organic cultures from our own culture bank. Our sawdust spawn is handmade from a blend of locally sourced, all-natural, organic, and non-GMO woods and supplements from farms and forests in New England and North America. 

Cautions & considerations

If you’re going to consume home-grown mushrooms, make sure to cook your fresh mushrooms thoroughly with heat. If it is your first time eating this species, it is best to start with a small amount to check for allergies, even if cooked.

Sawdust Spawn Frequently Asked Questions

Sawdust spawn is sterilized sawdust colonized with mushroom mycelium. It’s used to inoculate a growing substrate such as logs, wood chips, or outdoor garden beds to start mushroom growth.

It serves as the "seed" for your mushroom crop — transferring live, growing mycelium into your chosen growing medium.

Sawdust spawn is best for outdoor projects like logs, stumps, or garden beds and is slower to contaminate.
Grain spawn is ideal for indoor grows or bulk substrate inoculation because it colonizes faster but is more contamination-sensitive.

Sawdust spawn is mixed or packed into a substrate (like logs or wood chips) to inoculate it. Common methods include:

  • Drilling and filling holes in logs
  • Layering in outdoor wood chip or straw beds
  • Mixing with sterilized sawdust or wood pellets for bag cultivation

Most sawdust spawn performs best on hardwoods like oak, maple, or beech. Some species (like Wine Cap or certain Oysters) can tolerate small amounts of softwood in the mix.

Buckets of Snow & Blue Oyster Mushrooms

Once I figured out how to prepare the buckets & chopped straw the rest was easy to get done... Then the hardest part is the hurry up & wait & wait. But the wait is definitely worth the time!!! See the added photos.
Besides using them fresh in cooking, I've also dehydrated (for soups & making powder), added to cabbage sauerkraut ferments with other vegetables...delicious!!
Also I found that the timely response from their customer help in answering my asked questions with info has been extremely helpful too.

Wow Dena, these are beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!

Oyster

The package arrived in a timely manner, was well packed. I plan to innoculate a pile of wood chips, and a bale of straw. I'm waiting for the weather to break.

Awesome, Jo! If you need help with anything, please reach out.

Delicious!

Got the snow oyster spawn kind of on impulse because I like mushrooms. Ended up being real easy! I used coarse hardwood saw dust from my woodshop and after a few weeks I had plenty. North spore was also very helpful when I had questions. I can't wait to try more varieties.

Thank you so much for sharing your positive grow experience with us, Isaac! We love to hear about how our customers are using our products. Feel free to reach out if you ever need anything!

Beautiful and delicious

We planted these in the fall and they started to fruit about a month and a half later. They are beautiful and delicate looking and taste amazing. We got the sawdust spawn and planted them in layers of wood chips.

First time grower!

I purchased the sawdust spawn last fall and decided on the totem method. Living in Alaska, I wasn't sure if I should try to inoculate the logs outside during the winter. So I brought the cut logs into the garage and placed the spawn as described in the instructions. It was difficult to keep rhe logs moist in the garage, but I did my best with a spray bottle. This spring they were placed outside in a shaded area and not a peep out of them. I was worried that everything had dried out and died while in the garage.

I hadn't check on them in a week and to my amazement, MUSHROOMS!!!!!! Some were a bit to large/old I believe (my fault for giving up on them), but 4.4lbs for my first harvest! I still can't believe it. It's been a great learning experience and look forward to expanding my mushroom patch!

Ready To Go!!!

Just received my grain spawn in the mail. The couple of weeks turnaround before shipping was well worth it, because the bag of Snow Oyster spawn was Very well colonized out of the box. Can’t wait to spawn this to substrate! I’ve got some Pink Oyster already, and it will be interesting to see just how different the fruiting conditions will really be. With the mild winters we’ve been having up here in Zone 5, it will be nice to have some harvest after the vegetable crops and Other mushrooms have gone to sleep for the winter. Great Job North Spore!

100% Healthy Colonized Spawn!

The spawn I received (in all my North Spore purchases) has been beautifully colonized, packaged and worked wondrously! Thank you North Spore for the spectacular work as always. :)

Great product, arrived promptly and quite healthy and viable. After about 2 weeks in a straw bed, I have great mycelia running along!
Nice work folks!!

A white explosion

I ordered the wrong product and they quickly sent me the right one. The sawdust bag come with some white growth already in it. I only used about 3/4 of the bag and what was left just looked like sawdust. Later that week the bag of sawdust looked like a bag full of marshmallows! It's just exploding everywhere.

Very healthy

My spawn arrived in great condition and is growing well in dirty straw. After a full week of heavy rain I was surprised to see how well it was doing despite the poor conditions.

New to Mushrooms!

This was my first year growing mushrooms and I have to say the information that North Spore provides have me a lot of confidence in trying something new. I would recommend to anyone to watch all their videos and read the literature, if you cannot find what you need their their staff was very helpful as well. One thing I did not see ahead of time was that the spawn should be refrigerated until used. If you order more than 3 bags of sawdust spawn you might need a cooler because each bag was 5 lbs and is the size of a loaf of bread. Just something to consider when you are timing the delivery of your spawn and substrate. Everything was well packaged and labeled with species and production dates. Nothing left for me to do, but water my beds and wait.

After only 1.5 weeks, mycelium is going crazy!

I must've bugged North Spore w/ a zillion questions to make sure I was ordering the right products for my climate, (southern MN), etc. They were so, so helpful and I think they were almost as excited for me to start my mushrooms as I was! I made a bed for these in the shadiest part of my backyard - made w/ straw & oak pellets. I was worried that the straw I used was too large and that there would be too much space for the mycelium to grow well, but I checked the beds this morning and looks like they're forming a nice, thick mat already! Seems like it won't be long before my husband and I are cooking up some yummy snow oyster mushrooms!

Can’t wait!

I really want to grow SO many mushrooms but don’t know what I’m doing. I emailed these guys asking so many questions and they were helpful every single time! So excited for my mushrooms to grow!!!

Great product!

So far I have used this to inoculate logs, make a couple of totems, and use it in a straw bed. Within two weeks the totems have grown together and you can see visible mycelium growth. Will definitely be buying more spore in the future.
