Review of Aloha Medicinals spawn sent to me

I placed an order with Aloha Medicinal mushrooms and here is the cropping review as of yet:
Pleurotus ostreatus JS2= Black Oyster. This fruited very well and had good size and taste. The color was not black but dark grey. I was pleased with this strain.
Pleurotus pulmonarius #218 = Italian brown. This fruited very well but were a very thin mushrooms and had no taste. They tasted like nothing!!!
Pleurotus ostreatus Columbus= This is suppose to be a blue oyster mushroom. However the mushrooms are now fruiting and appear to to be a white oyster mushroom. So I did not receive the correct spawn for this species.
Pleurotus salmoneostramineus VDE1= pink oyster. Good color, size, fruited quickly. Tasted like other pink oysters. Pleased with this strain.
I did receive one sick and contaminated jar in my order.
For the most part all of the strains are clean and some are great and some are not. So do not expect all super hero strains from them. Shop around.

What temperature did you fruit the blues at? This can affect color.

My order from aloha was a disgusting mess of black mold and infected, mushy jars. Trich in several jars, lids off others. They refunded the cost but -- jeez --- I get cleaner samples off the forest floor.

Thanks for the suggestions on the temperatures. I will keep the information for further reference.
The mushrooms that were supposed to be blue are growing great. They are medium tan and huge. I mean like most are perfectly round and tea cup size with thick caps and thick stems. Taste great!
I am also picking them a little early to avoid their spore release.
So actually I am very pleased with the mistake as it turns out. I like mistakes like this.
