What are White Oyster Mushrooms?
White oyster mushroom is
an easily cultivated mushroom appropriate for beginners, because of its
vigorous mycelium growth. The mushroom can efficiently compete with other fungi
while growing on a substrate and is thus resistant to molds. Caps of the
white oyster mushroom are milky white with a silky surface and can grow up to a
couple of 10 cm in diameter. For the cultivation of white oyster mushroom, wood
can be inoculated either with grain spawn.
The mushroom is
considered as rapidly growing and extremely aggressive fungus. If inoculation
is carried out early in the spring and wood is left in a warm and shaded place,
mushrooms are expected to grow late in the autumn. Usually, mushrooms start
growing when the environment temperature drops, and precipitations are more
frequent (most often during the fall). Cultivation on wood is most successful
when carried out outdoors, where the spawn has enough fresh air and humidity to
develop into mushrooms.
