Our USDA-certified organic Italian oyster (Pleurotus pulmonarius) grain spawn features a strain with a deliciously mild flavor and earthy aroma. Italian oyster mushrooms are thicker and meatier than blue oyster mushrooms, and their brown frilled caps can grow quite large.

Italian oysters are great for beginners and are reliable indoor year-round producers. If kept in the right conditions, they will yield substantial first, second, and even third harvests (making them an ideal commercial variety!)

Italian oyster grain spawn can be used for indoor cultivation year round. When used for outdoor cultivation, Italian oysters are generally cold tolerant and fruit prolifically in early spring or late fall. 

Recommended use:

  • Italian oyster grain spawn can be used for indoor production using sawdust or straw or outdoor garden beds using straw or wood chips. It is also ideal for growing in buckets.
  • Do not use grain spawn for log inoculation.
  • This is not a mushroom grow kit. Italian oyster grain spawn must be combined with a substrate in order to fruit. 

Upon receiving your spawn:

Remove it from the shipping box as soon as possible. Then, unfold the top of the bag, making room for air space. It's also important to check and confirm that the filter patch is not obstructed. This will help the organism breathe and continue to thrive!

Successful Italian Oyster Mushroom in Buckets

I received an Italian oyster mycelium in grain in the first week of September and prepared the buckets (4) and straw with lime (ph 12.7 soaked and drained to 70% hydrated) following the video instructions. Wow! In 2 weeks I had the first flash of Italian oyster in all four buckets! One week rest and I had another flash (not as much). The photo attached is from the first flash. This was so much easier (faster and cleaner) than doing it outdoors on straw bed. Going forward, I will continue the bucket method.

Fruiting quickly

First, let me say it is now August and all my oysters from March's spray and grow boxes have been happily fruiting in my yard for months (those boxes are basically a gateway drug lol). I added fruiting blocks to expand the species and those fruited quickly and before long I was realizing I needed mycelium sitters to take care of things for me when I traveled so...out in the woods with those as well! We have a wooded acre. Half my body weight is now oyster mushrooms, I think. Because the little soil bugs and slugs really like them also (coffee grounds help) I thought I would try container growing in straw so that's why I purchased this spawn and I'm already harvesting and so far the slugs have not caught on to my game. Delish!

Third harvest

Allentown Pennsylvania area is where we live. I established two beds of this product at the end of April. This week we have our third harvest of Oysters! We had to protect it from slug damage using small containers of cheap beer. That took care of the slugs that ate our second harvest before we could gather much. This third harvest filled two large mixing bowls, and the taste is wonderful. Highly recommended. Using straw and wood chips in an existing shaded landscaping bed that has a mix of river birch and low light plants.

Oysters Italian

This was easy and fun to grow. I placed in a bed by itself with minimal sun. 2 weeks in I started to get one or two here and there. Now after some rainfall they have taken off! Couldn't be more happier with the product!
