So I grabbed a quart of Blue Oyster grain out of the fridge to G2G with today and noticed this:
    
Any idea why my supposed Blue Oyster is fruiting like this?

I'm gonna leave it be until I find out if this and environmental or genetic trait, or if I just got the wrong culture. It does grow like oyster myc though.

So I'm gonna make myself sound like an idiot here, but if it were an earthstar, wouldn't the little 'petals' be closed until more mature, then open? Isn't that how they work?

Not so much. The little flaps on earthstars probably have less to do with holding in spores as say, a veil or something similar, but they are almost more like little "raindrop levers" that bump the sac and help eject spores.

Interesting! So you think that looks like an earthstar?

Yes it does indeed look like an earthstar, but there's only one way to find out!

Glad I stumped a few of you guys. I also thought Earthstar when I first saw it, but there is no separation between the "petals and puffball" formation. It's all one piece.

I was told the culture was Blue Oyster, not King. Is this a Pleurotus trait then, and why did it do it? Environmental?

I've decided it was a Shamanic Winter Solstice gift from the mushroom gods! I wish I could scan it in 3D so I can have a buddy 3D print it.

I see the nipple cap now. Looks like you need more FAE and higher humidity. I would agree that it looks more like p. eryngi than p. ostreatus.

Well, the jar has been in the fridge for over a month. King or Blue does not matter to me as long as it is Pleurotus. I'll find that out when I fruit the culture. So since this is an environmental issue there's no need to clone it, right? Thanks for helping me figure it out guys.

Yep a fridge is a perfect environment to get a weirdo like that (dry and cold). No need to clone it.
