It’s in the same Family as Oysters but it’s not a Pleurotus.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can expect a fully pinning bag about a month after inoculating a bulk substrate a whole month faster then our regular olive oysterling.  They do seem to take a couple weeks to harvest and I’ve been experimenting but seems like they like it drier than true oysters and preform and yield the best outside of the bag completely.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mushrooms have a beautiful appearance with rich purple-olive tones and thick, meaty stems that are similar to King oysters.  I like to call it the “dark meat” chicken of the woods.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003eColor can shift depending on temperature, often producing deeper hues in cooler conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a favorite at our farm stands and with the chefs we work with because of its texture, flavor, and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis strain fruits across a wide range of conditions and seasons, making it an excellent choice for both new growers and experienced cultivators.  Olive Oysterling is traditionally a cool season variety and is the last foraged mushrooms of the season in Appalachia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach 10 mL syringe contains enough liquid culture to inoculate a master jar or a grain bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing more LC will generally speed colonization within reason, helping you move from inoculation to harvest even faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’ve been searching for a dependable but different and eye catching “oyster” strain that grows quickly and produces beautiful, meaty mushrooms, this is the same culture we trust on our farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow it’s ready for yours. 🍄\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommon Names: Olive oysterling, late fall oyster, Mukitake (Japan), purple-brown oyster.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harder Mushrooms","offers":[{"title":"10ml","offer_id":48852243251451,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30ml","offer_id":48852243284219,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/0529\/0747\/files\/il_fullxfull.7832596963_fuco.jpg?v=1778510578","url":"https:\/\/hardermushrooms.com\/products\/purple-olive-oysterling-mushroom-liquid-culture-syringe-grow-your-own","provider":"Harder Mushrooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
