‘The OG’ blue oyster
(Pleurotus ostreatus columbinus)
Firm meaty texture and delicious flavour
This wonderful mushroom culture was originally sourced from a Victoria, BC grocery store. The “OG” blue oyster was the first mushroom that we grew at home and eventually cloned into our culture library. Likely a regionally common commercial strain.
The ‘OG’ blue oyster has striking features, dark blue caps, firm meaty texture and a delicious flavor. A beautiful, fast growing mushroom and hardy enough to fruit year round.
Oyster mushrooms are high in protein, extremely low in fat, loaded with nutrients, and are also considered medicinal mushrooms due to all of the benefits they can offer when included in your diet. Our ‘OG’ blue oyster mushroom is living proof that health food can still be delicious.
