CULTURE SYRINGE

Scientific name: PLEUROTUS PULMONARIUS;
Also known as: Pleurotus cornucopiae Pers. var. pulmonarius Fr.

Common names:
JAPANESE : Usu hira take.
SPANISH: Setas Italianas
ENGLISH: Italian Oyster mushroom

This is a great species to have! It is incredible. It is very genetically strong. It is a super fast colonizer that will colonize almost anything. It also fruits easily with minimal effort and all you have to do is maintain a high humidity level and air it out twice daily. Keep it close to a window for best results. Temperatures in the mid 70's works best for this species. We are offering fully colonized agar plates with thick mycelial growth that can be used to innoculate houndreds of pounds of spawn or substrate. Starting from culture is not as hard as one might think. It provides a much faster colonization than spores would. Under sterile conditions cut a piece or pieces of the agar and put inside of a spawn bag or jar with the right growing medium. Colonization should be visible within 2-3 days. Many culture syringes can also be made from our colonized agar plates by blending the culture in a sterilized blender with distilled sterilized water, and under sterile conditions (preferably under a flow hood), suck the solution into syringes. It might take up to 4 weeks for syringes to be ready for use depending on temperature. Realistically you can make around 28 10cc syringe cultures from one plate. We've seen similar cultures even smaller in size run houndreds of dollars! Now from E.T.Labs© we bring these awesome cultures for a very affordable price.

Reported Health Benefits: Oyster mushrooms are best known medically for their cardiovascular and cholesterol-controlling benefits. Oyster mushrooms contain mevinolin and related compounds which are potent competitive inhibitors of HMG CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductuctase), the major rate limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. In addition, they have been shown to have activity in the following:

Antitumor
Immune response
Anti-inflammatory
Antiviral
Antibiotic

anecdotal reports suggest improves liver and kidney function and helps gastrointestinal disorders. Research on mice suggest that it may have anti-tumorial properties (Ying 1987, Weil 1987).

X'S ARE STABBED ABOUT 1 INCH DEEP AND ABOUT 1 INCH WIDE WHERE THE MUSHROOMS WILL BEGIN TO FRUIT.


IF MUSHROOMS BEGIN TO FRUIT UNDERNEATH THE PLASTIC, THEN CAREFULLY CUT THE PLASTIC AROUND THEM WITH SCISSORS TO WIDEN THE OPENING AND TO ALLOW THEM TO COME THROUGH.




ITALIAN OYSTERS GROW REALLY FAST UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS.


A GREENHOUSE LIKE THIS BY A WINDOW WORKS GREAT, BUT IS NOT NECESSARY. EVEN A BIN WOULD WORK.















HARVEST TIME! THERE ARE 2 LAYERS OF MUSHROOMS IN THIS PICTURE. THE BOTTOM LAYER HAD A LOT MORE MUSHROOMS THAN THIS VISIBLE TOP LAYER. THEY ARE DELICIOUS!!!
