Pleurotus eryngii. Thick meaty stems, gourmet favourite. Needs supplemented sawdust.
One kilogram Pleurotus eryngii grain spawn. King oysters have thick, meaty stems prized by chefs — completely different texture from regular oysters.
Requires supplemented hardwood sawdust (add 10-20% wheat bran). Fruits at 15-21°C with high humidity. Slower than P. ostreatus but worth the wait.
We stock both Giant King Oyster and Black King Oyster varieties — contact us for specific strain requests.
