White Oyster Mushroom - Pleurotus Florida - Mushroom Sawdust Spawn
You receive ready colonized mushroom spawn made from organic raw material (wood, rye bran from organic farming) for inoculation of substrate. Inoculation with sawdust spawn is usually more efficient than working with grain spawn. Sawdust is a by-product and more cost efficient and environmental sustainable than grain that have to be produced. Because of this large quantities of spawn can be produced for a lower price. Expected harvest yield is up to 70 % of the fresh dry weight of substrate divided on several flushes over 3 to 5 months.
Suitable Substrate: straw, paper, coffee grounds, pulp of coffee beans, hardwood (poplar, oak, alder, aspen, maple, birch, ash, beech, willow, elm)
