Maine Aspen Oyster "PP-OG1" Pleurotus populinus Agar Culture on MYA
Jacksonville Grown | Small Batch | Support Available | Florida-Focused Learning
Transfers Made To Order onto Fresh MYA Plates
You Receive 1 Fresh 100mm MYA dish of “PP-OG1” Pleurotus populinus mycelium ready for your further expansion.
This culture was isolated from a wild Pleurotus populinus specimen found in the Old Growths of Western Maine in Early June 2023 and preserved as "PP-OG1". Often called the Aspen Oyster, this species naturally grows on aspen and other hardwood trees across northern forests.
This wild culture produces tight bouquets of oyster mushrooms with pale caps and thick stems, especially when grown under cooler fruiting conditions.
Cultivation Overview
Pleurotus populinus thrives on hardwood substrates, including sawdust blocks, hardwood pellets, or pasteurized straw. Like other oyster mushrooms, it is a fast colonizer and fairly adaptable species.
Fruiting Conditions
Temperature:
50–70°F
Humidity:
60–90% relative humidity.
Light:
Indirect light or diffused daylight.
Fresh Air Exchange:
High airflow encourages full cap expansion and prevents elongated stems.
Characteristics
• Wild Maine oyster genetics
• Cold tolerant species
• Dense cluster formation
• Fast colonization
• Excellent beginner oyster species
Ideal For
• Oyster mushroom growers
• Cold-weather cultivation
• Home mycology labs
• Agar and culture expansion
• Gourmet mushroom production
Aspen Oysters are a fantastic species for growers who want a reliable, cold-tolerant oyster with strong clustering behavior. Plus it has a beautiful marbled ivory look.
Wild genetics.
Clean cultures.
