Specialty Strains

Grain spawn may take 2-3 weeks to ship depending on availability 

Here we'll list limited quantities of specialty strains we produce from our extensive culture bank, giving you a chance to grow species that aren't typically available on our website. Updated whenever there is new spawn!

All strains come in 6 lb bags of grain.

Current Offerings:

'Shmoyster' Pleurotus ostreatus NSPO15: An alternative Blue Oyster strain. Darker and denser than our PO1 with a more impressive first flush but a lower tolerance for warm temperatures. A serious oyster with a serious name.

'Comb Tooth' Hericium corraloides NSHC2: A commercially productive strain of Comb Tooth. Unlike the dense 'pom poms' of hericium erinaceus, Hericium corraloides produces large, coral-like fruiting bodies with branching spines.

Pleurotus ostreatus NSPO19: High-yielding, thick-stemmed "King Blue" from Mossy Creek in Tennessee.
