Oysters fruited finaly
    #21571240 - 04/20/15 10:48 AM (9 years, 30 days ago)

Well I did something right this time. The buckets I have them in fuzed together so I could not get them apart but the unstoppable oyster fruited anyway.

This is the second flush, been spraying this one and seem to be getting larger clusters. I also sprayed the top to give them plenty of moisture to grow this time. First batch was about 1/2 this size before I even saw them fruiting. I had almost given up on them.




This was a simple experiment. Grocery store oysters, stem butt culture on cardboard. Moved to grain straw, I think wheat, that was soaked in tap water for about 2 hours. I didn't chop it up really small but I did cut it up to less than 12 inch lengths. Put everything inside a bucket with holes drilled in it. Then put it inside another bucket. Put the lid thing you take off of new buckets between them for small amount of FAE and put the lid on tight. Left it in the garage for some 6 months and voila.

I tried to seperate the buckets when I saw primordia on top after opening bucket but that was not going to happen. I thoght it was over and might only get them to fruit out the top Left lid on loose and the next thing I know they fruited.

Only ambient light, unheated garage. No nutrientsor anything else.

Thinking about starting 2 more of these from the mycelium after I am sure I have gotten the last flush I am gonna get. I will try to hopefully get them apart this time or I may put heavy plastic over the holes with slits so I don't have them stuck together again.

Thought about trying to find some of that irrigation culvert with the holes in it and do a whole bale that way at one time. Only thing I can see being hard to deal with would be shading it so the black plastic doesn't get too warm and kill them mycelium.

They look great.
What variety is that?

They look very much like some Blue Oysters I just fruited - Pleurotus columbinus.

Is there a hole in the bucket there or did they creep their way up through that near airtight crack between buckets and fruit out of it?  Those guys won't let anything stop them!

No clue what kind they are, just a store bought variety.

There are holes in the bucket but not near the top. They crept up the walls and fruited out the gap. There is a little bigger gap because I used the ring from the lid. The buckets would not come apart to fruit them from the holes I drilled.

I'm impressed with those oysters. 

Thanks for sharing!
