True Elm Oyster

I just ordered a LC from Out-grow stated as being elm oyster. The picture also showed a true elm oyster. It should be interesting to see if that is what actually grows from this, or the typical Pleurotus that nearly every vendor calls elm oyster.

I have a white elm oyster from Hacendado if you want a plate. Crazy fast growth. Raced across my plate in a few days.

But is it a true elm oyster? I mean, are the gills decurrent? Many vendors sell Pleurotus as Hypsizygus. This is what I consider an elm oyster https://files.shroomery.org/files/15-37/209478152-Elm_Oyster_Orvils_9-12-2015_2.jpg However, I would love a plate of yours if you could spare it, no matter what it is. I'd like to try some agar to grain. There's so many things I haven't tried yet!

I'm excited to see if you have the real thing! Also wondering if the LC I ordered will be the real deal. The pic they used for the information about it is the Hypsizygus so it should be, but you never know.

LC is on grain and starting to colonize. Some of the grain I used is an experimental jar to test the PC that I borrowed from family. Never used a PC so I had to test it out. PC'd about 4 or 5 days ago, and no visible contams yet. Must have done something right

The jar I sterilized and inoculated is doing really well. The bag of pre-sterilized rye berries I purchased from Out-grow doesn't show much progress. Not sure why. Will try to get pics. Not sure how they will turn out through the glass. Not sure if I should shake at some point. I mixed the bag under right away, but not the jar. Suggestions?

Jar was looking to be between 25%-50% colonized, so I gave it a shake yesterday. Like a dumbass, I forgot to get a pic before hand. It is already starting to recover, less than 24 hours later. I will take a pic maybe tomorrow and get it posted. The bag of rye berries is beginning to thicken finally. Will post some pics of that tomorrow also.

About 22 hours after last photo. Fast! Hope it does well on supplemented sawdust. The pinks I did on sawdust sucked! Of course there was no supplementation though.

pinks, blues and phoenix never did well on sawdust when compared to kings or shiitake. They prefer straw and the phoenix grow well on chunks of shredded mulch.

I've heard the term mulch used in many different ways, what does it mean in this context?

What term? like they prefer it? The growth is much more white, faster, and solid vs weak and whispy. It colonizes much faster and solid white on substrates it prefers.

Mulch can describe anything that covers the soil including rocks, sawdust, woodchips, straw or a combination of woodchips and leaves. What raw material is meant by mulch in this context?

lol too many beers, i missed mulch. Yea hardwood mulch, chipped or shredded hardwood blends. I get mine for free from the city recycling center. Its all the fallen trees on city roads or trimming for power lines that gets chopped up. Not many conifers here in the desert so its mostly hard or soft wood that's mush friendly. My only issue was recently there was a weed mushroom that popped up in my and my friends patch with the same load of mulch. Phoenix conquered but we had a few small tiny white mushies that showed up first. Most likely due to excessive rain this summer and the mulch pile sitting in a dumpster for weeks if not months soaking wet.
Sorry to semi ninja the thread jim, good luck on the elms. My logs are almost fully colonized just waiting on it to finish up before fruiting.

Not a problem. I really think that this is probably a Pleurotus not Hypsizygus as advertised, as fast as it's growing. Should be interesting to see.

my elm logs are colonizing just as fast as my blues, are the Hypsizygus known for significantly slower growth?

I really can't answer that. I've never seen anyone here grow out Hypsizygus. They always turn out to be Pleurotus. I know that Hypsizygus doesn't taste as good as most of the Pleurotus, but I want to do something that not too many people have done. Also, I pick the wild ones here every year. I think they taste ok. It would also be nice to maybe clone some, or make spawn for those who wish to try it.

Spawned the colonized wheat berries to supplemented sawdust this morning. Man that shit is a bitch to get out of the jars! Tried hitting on my hand, with very limited success and the fear of breakage. Then went to hitting it on a phone book, with no real success. Finally drowned a butter knife in alcohol, and then sprayed it with Lysol, then wipe it back down with alcohol. Used that to break it up. I suppose I got all kinds of contams doing that, but I couldn't get it any other way. Threw the spawn in the bag, and used a zip tie to close.
I used: 3 lbs of hardwood fuel pellets 4 oz of wheat bran 1 heaping tsp of gypsum 10 1/2 cups water 12 oz spawn
PC'd for 90 min at 14 psi.
Wish me luck. Can't be any worse than when I was doing lipa tek, without sterilizing. I just hope it colonizes the wood as fast as the grain. Crazy fast!

Next time take 2-3 tablespoons and wrap them in foil and PC with your jars or bags. If you rubbed the alcohol down good with a clean paper towel you should be ok. I like using individually packaged alcohol swabs to wipe down smaller sterile stuff then i usually do a 10% bleach solution and leave it wet. Good luck!

Here is the beginning of colonization. I hope it goes well. I still have 2 lbs of spawn growing on rye berries from Out-grow, but these were the wheat berries I made up with LC.

Doing pretty well. A little metabolites, but not bad. A fair amount of condensation in the bag, but still colonizing well. This is 6 days in.

I have pins forming, and will get some pics as soon as they are a bit larger. I don't want to try to lift it out of the SGFC just for pics.

I wouldn't get too excited. As I stated earlier in the thread, all the vendors that I have seen are selling a Pleurotus as a Hypsizygus. I haven't had enough coffee to start making my "mycological rounds" this morning yet, but I'll check in just a few moments to see what my little bumps are turning into. The picture that Out-grow uses to advertise this LC is obviously Hypsizygus, so if that's not what it turns out to be, I will be having a talk with them.

AND THE VERDICT IS..................I dunno. Still to small to tell. But, If I had to bet a paycheck on it, I'm gonna say it's a Pleurotus. Just because of the massive pinning. Any elm oysters I have seen in the wild only have maybe 2-4 fruits coming out of the same spot. They are pinning really well, but growing a little slower, because I have the temps at 55-60 for my kings in the same room.

Nope. Not Hypsizygus. Looks like any other pinning Pleurotus I've seen. I shall be having a talk with Out-grow soon. Not so much about how this is NOT Hypsizygus, but how their picture of the product shows an entirely different mushroom. After they get a bit bigger, I will post some pics.

I have the variety from Hacenadao. So far no pins on all 6 logs. I just now moved them back into my house for a warm shock to hopefully induce fruiting.

i'm not that great but thanks 
i just thought it was common knowledge that almost no one has "the real elm oyster". most hobby culture sites are run by people that don't know, or don't care. and the super shiity part is that some of them have never even grown out their strains, so they could be selling you something that won't fruit!

I've looked through all of the threads here that I could find. One of them mentioned a possible Aloha strain that was the real deal, and one said something about a shroomery member that had one. Those were fairly old threads though. So I knew that the chances were almost zero, but still, if the picture in their add for the product was of a Hypsizygus, that is what a person should get. I'm still fairly satisfied, because it looks like it's super aggressive. It also appears that it will produce well, so at least I'll have somethin for my efforts. I can't believe how much supplementing makes a difference!
The good news for me is, elm oysters grow here wild in the fall. I hadn't started my hands on education in agar until the season was over though, so I missed that opportunity. Next year I'll be damn sure to clone one or two of those bastards!

that would be cool if you could find a wild one. yes i'm pretty sure the commerical growers I know that grow it, use the strain from aloha. they all swear by it that it makes huge dense clusters.

I'll get some pics of it again later today. If half of the pins don't abort, it will be a beautiful site!

Ill put them back out in the chamber after two days indoors at 74-76. Hopefully the change will make it fruit. If not these are about to become compost in my garden.

Mine are doing well, considering they are in a SGFC and need a bit more FAE. I'm keeping the temps pretty low, because I have some king bags I'm trying to milk for one more pathetic flush. It's probably about 55-58 degrees in there.

As stated above, I already know that. No way to do that in a SGFC without losing too much humidity. Drawbacks of a SGFC. When spring rolls around, everything goes outside in the nice fresh air.

I have two wild strains, or did have. I may have given one away. I have not tried fruiting them yet. But if you are interested I can send you a wedge or too, I also have spore prints.

Here's a few of the fruits. I just took a few off because I wanted an omelet for breakfast. I'm sure they could have grown a bit more, unless that's all the bigger they get. They tasted pretty mild, and not really very tough. From what I read by RR, I thought they were going to be pretty crappy. Not bad at all, and VERY fast colonizers.
This cluster alone was 3.7oz

A few more fruits. So far the bag has produced 16.7oz. They taste very good, at least to me.

Maybe not the real thing, but I'm amazed at how fast and productive they are!

hey grower. When you fruit these logs outside do you use a greenhouse? or do you just fruit in open air? Would building a small greenhouse substantially increase yield?

They will be broken down into a garden bed at my work for decomposition. If i get fruits great but my ultimate goal is soil for plants. I dont have space for a greenhouse, im in a townhome.

me neither. I'm thinking of building a greenhouse to fruit oyster logs in but do you think it will have a big impact on yield? RH inside those polytubes must be pretty high.

Here is what I have reason to believe is the real deal. It has been a little slower than oyster, but I have a feeling, in the next 3-4 days it will speed up a bit.

I have transfered ?elm oyster? fro grain to the bag. Mycelium has same smell as sourdough. I wonder, what will be the smell of your strain?

You are absolutely correct. H. ulmarius is elm oyster. But I would be willing to bet my entire checking account ($42), that if you order elm oyster, or H. ulmarius from a vendor, you're gonna end up fruiting a Pleurotus. No, elm oysters are not what many would call a choice edible, but I like them, and have never seen them fruited by anyone on HWFP. It's just a project for me.

Dang, sourdough doesn't sound quite right to me. I'm thinking that could be a bacterial infection. Did you get your culture from a wild fruit or.....

Crazy, isn't it. They grow here in the fall too. Have a look around on the forums, and see what I'm talking about. If you know what an elm oyster looks like, and you obviously do, you'll be shaking your head. Also, search the vendor sites for elm oyster LCs and check out their pics on the advertising.
