Butterscotch Oyster Mushroom Spawn (Pleurotus ostreatus)

Species name: Pleurotus ostreatus var. Butterscotch Pearl

This variety forms small but uniform clusters of caramel coloured oyster mushrooms. They are great for commercial growers as yields are consistent and the mycelium is very robust and colonises quickly. The caps can be fragile if left to grow to full maturity. Pick early when clusters are heavy and caps are still curled.

Butterscotch Oysters prefer colder conditions. You will grow dark caramel or brown caps and more dense clusters in cooler temperatures. If grown at the warmer end of their range, colour will be lighter and more beige.

In our experience this strain is strong against small amounts of trichoderma contamination. Good if working in more of a home-growing environment.
