Hi there,
Yes wellington is one of our secret strains. It is very vigorous and has amazing fruits. I usually use it as a recommendation for someone who is looking for a "rare" or "special" oyster strain because it is not prevalent on the market but it still has amazing BE, beautiful fruits, and will quickly take over any substrate you put it on. I would love for word of its greatness to get out, so it becomes more prevalent in the market

What makes it so "rare, special, secret" ? These are strong words. Any pictures?

Hi guys!
Sorry I am only active on forums on Mondays (started school again so I'm all over the place now days). Any who, I personally do not have any pictures of these "rare, and special" strains, but one of my bosses might. I can do some hunting around if you are still interested? Or I can ask to fruit some of them myself if you want more current pictures (we need to start doing this anyway). A lot of the "rare and special" strains are not exceedingly different from the main market strains except in the way that they are not prevalent in the market. Basically you guys and your customers who buy the mushrooms create the demand for our strains. Strangely enough, you all tend to fixate on certain strains. Since the demand for that strain goes up, so does the price we sell it for because you want it enough. If you go to Aloha's website (I had to remove it from my signature. I apologize for any inconvenience) you will see some Pleurotus strains are significantly cheaper than others. This pattern is the same for all other industrial species. It is not that the cheaper strains are less prolific or any less in any way; it is simply that the demand for that strain is not there, so they become "rare and special". Occasionally one of the strains is not as viable as the others and sometimes a certain strain is even more amazing than the main stream strains. Some strains even taste different or look different than the main stream strains creating a strain that is really "different and special", and no one knows because no one buys that strain! Buying strains can be a treasure hunt if you are willing to take a little risk, and I am always here to guide you as well, so I would not recommend a strain that was not up to par with the others, but if no one buys the rare strains we do not do much research on them past insuring the species because there is no profit in it for us, so we put our energy into what you guys want, which tends to be the main stream strains. I would also like to point out there is nothing wrong with the main stream strains. They are all amazing and there is a reason they are popular, but there are equally good ones here that no one knows about, and you could be the first to have.

Well... Here it is. The secret special Wellington oyster. Looks like a brat on steroids. These are on straw steeped in rabbit poo and lime bath.

That is one straightforward and legit answer. Respect earned, imo.

IMO the Wellington is finicky compared to brat. Too much or too little humidity causes The primordia to abort. It also turns this unattractive tan color at maturity. Still has good form, taste and shelf life. But not as good as brat. They don't grow a lot of mushrooms over there at aloha. They should hire Shroomery to create a photo bucket of their strains.
