‘King pearl’ oyster
(Pleurotus ostreatus)
The ‘Medusa’s head’ of mushrooms
Our ‘King Pearl’ oyster is an amazing culture. It grows tall, pearly champagne-coloured mushrooms and that remind us of Medusa’s head writhing with snakes!
The mushrooms are dense and meaty all the way from stem base to the tip of the cap, making the entire mushroom deliciously tender.
A very strong commercial strain, the ‘King Pearl’ oyster is also the perfect variety for our ‘Grow Gourmet at Home’ kits (coming soon). It is a spore-less mushroom variety, meaning that there is no dusty clean-up required like some other mushroom grow kits. This attribute also makes it the ideal mushroom to grow at home for those with allergies.
