Tarragon Oyster T-Gel Wedges [Giveaway]
#24934531 - 01/22/18 06:16 PM (6 years, 2 months ago) |

I have [5x] T-Gel wedges of the rare Tarragon Oyster that I am willing to send out at the end of next month. There will be more wedges soon, and I will update this thread when there is more to send.
Respond with: [X] number of wedges remaining, them PM me your details.
---- ----
Tarragon Oyster (Pleurotus euosmus):
Tarragon Oyster Mushroom is a very rare oyster mushroom which is thought to be only found in the British Isles and is not cultivated commercially at all.
Mycelial Characteristics: White, longitudinally linear, cottony aerial fast growing and classically oysteresque. Soon after colonizing a petri dish of MYPA, the mycelium tears off in thick sheets.
Microscopic Features: This mushroom produces pale pinkish/lilac spores.
Suggested Agar Culture Media: Malt Yeast Agar (MYA), Malt Yeast Peptone Agar (MYPA), Potato Dextrose Yeast Peptone (PDYA), or Oatmeal Yeast Agar (OMYA).
Spawn Media: Grain spawn for the first two generations, hardwood sawdust spawn for the final stage.
Substrates for Fruiting: Hardwood sawdust, cereal straw, cottonseed hulls, sugar cane bagasse, coffee wastes, paper products, and many other materials. This mushroom will probably grow on many more substrate materials give modest experimentation.
Yield Potentials: 75-100% biological efficiency, greatly affected by the size of the mushrooms at harvest, and the number of flushes allowed.
---Growth Parameters---
Spawn Run:
Incubation Temperatures: 70-80° F (21-27° C) Relative Humidity: 98-100% Duration: 7-14 days CO2: > 10,000 ppm Fresh Air Exchanges: 0-1 per hour Light Requirements: n/a
Primordia Formation:
Initiation Temperature: 65-75° F (18-24° C) Relative Humidity: 95-100% Duration: 7-10 days CO2: < 2000 ppm Fresh Air Exchanges: 4-8 per hour Light Requirements: 750-1500 lux
Fruitbody Development:
Temperature: 70-80° F (21-27° C) Relative Humidity: 90-95% Duration: 4-8 days CO2: < 1000 ppm Fresh Air Exchanges: 4-8 per hour Light Requirements: 750-1500 lux
Cropping Cycle:
3 crops, two weeks apart.
Comments: With a distinctive and delicate trumpet shaped cap, as it’s name suggests, it’s smell and taste resembles the herb tarragon.

Wow, no problem guys, I had better do more in the next run (low on vials).
I will PM all of you when the items have been dispatched. Which should be around the 23rd of Feb.
I will also do more wedges on-around that date.

Extra data for Tarragon oyster:
Active enzymes (general): Cellulase (cellulose), Laccase (phenol's), Amylase (starch), Protease (protein) | Sugars (such as Sucrase).
Carbon sources (general): Cellulose, Starches, Sugars, Proteins, Phenol's, Other. Nitrogen sources (general): Protein, Some Phenol's, Ammoniacal, Ureic, Other.
----
Tip: Tarragon doesn't like too much acidity, or too much phenol's.
Tested to work at pH 6.0-8.0, I've not tried below 6.0.
The optimal pH with paper was 7-7.5.

Results of Pine v Hardwood Pellets on Tarragon Oyster
Pine took an early lead and stayed that way, getting to 100% 6 days before HWFP, and has already pinned by the time I put the Hardwood in the FC, and also colonized much thicker. Yields were also in favor of the Pine by several ounces.
Colonization differences:
Pine:
HWFP:
Recipe was 60 cups pellets, 20 cups wheat bran, 5 gallons water for both. Harvest on Pine was a full week ahead of Hardwood.
Conclusion: Patterson’s Horse Bedding Pine Pellets colonize faster and produce Higher yields than do HWFP from Tractor Supply.
Caveat: I have used better quality HWFP in the past- there are a lot of small chunks that don’t turn into pure sawdust which may be a factor.
Observations: Tarragon is very stemmy, I had Golds and Bratslavian growing along with it that were far less stemmy than the Tarragon. It is also a beautiful strain, a grayish purple with dark purple stripes on the stipe and a speckled lighter purple for the caps. Haven’t cooked with them yet so I can’t attest to taste yet.

Awesome! Can't wait to cultivate these. Thanks for the comparison of substrate as well!

That's some nice BE you got there, not sure what's causing the wavy caps. Excellent write up and description, are you collecting spores?
You can clone new fruiting genetics that suit more. The vendor cloned a horizontal fruit.

I can share agar of this if it's so popular, in a thread i will make for that, as soon as I confirm that the discoloration and slight slickness I see are just related to laccase on T-gel and not bacteria or anything like that. You may need to reimburse shipping though if it's gonna be a lot of wedges cause I have no income... don't worry mail is quite affordable here relatively to certain countries (still it adds up)
Excited about this!!
Thank you for being generous and also much to Travel for comparing pine! Very helpful as I am looking into hardwood vs pine for any edibles.
Is this species like Hericium in that FAE / CO2 level is supposed to be a serious factor in how strong the aroma / taste is?
How might one get too much polyphenols in the substrate?

It should be laccase enzymes (brown-tan). Currently I am adding tea, which adds acidic phenol's. Adding too much tea slowed down the mycelium, wood can also be too rich.

Thanks. I'm pretty excited. I'm gonna spend most of my time growing this species along with the shaggy mane.

I have assembled the wedges into vials, and sealed the vials in zip-lock bags. You are all getting two wedges in separate vials, one in each.
