Jacksonville Grown | Small Batch | Support Available | Florida-Focused Learning
Transfers made to order: on MYA plate
You Receive 1 Fresh 100mm MYA dish of Pleurotus pulmonarius mycelium ready for your further expansion.
A proven, heat-tolerant Pleurotus pulmonarius strain that's earned its place as a staple in the SFF rotation. Phoenix Oyster is the Oyster mushroom built for warm climates — and this culture backs that up with active grow data from Jacksonville summers.
Phoenix Oyster is frequently mistaken for Pearl Oyster (P. ostreatus) but it's a distinct species with meaningfully different performance characteristics. Lighter caps, a slightly more delicate texture, and critically — a higher temperature ceiling and lower humidity threshold than its more common cousin. Where P. ostreatus starts to struggle in the heat, P. pulmonarius keeps moving. That's not a marketing claim, that's the biology, and I've watched it play out firsthand in a Florida grow space.
This strain colonizes fast, pins reliably across flushes, and works on a wide range of substrates. It's one of the most forgiving and productive species in the genus — and in a Southern climate, it may well be your most consistent warm-weather producer.
Cultivation Overview
Phoenix Oyster is highly adaptable. Straw, supplemented hardwood, HWFP, coco coir blends — this species handles a wide substrate range with ease. Colonization is aggressive and the mycelium is vigorous from the start. A strong choice for growers at any experience level, and an essential species for anyone cultivating through Southern summers.
Fruiting Conditions
Temperature: 64–86°F (active Florida summer fruiting documented)
Humidity: 55–90% relative humidity during fruiting
Light: Indirect or diffused light is sufficient
Fresh Air Exchange: Moderate to high — supports cap development and prevents overlay
Characteristics
Pleurotus pulmonarius — distinct species from Pearl Oyster
Thrives in heat — documented Florida summer performance
Tolerates lower humidity than P. ostreatus
Fast colonization, aggressive mycelium
Strong yields across multiple flushes
Wide substrate compatibility
Ideal For
Growers in warm, Southern, or humid climates
Summer cultivation when other species stall
Farmers market and restaurant producers
Beginner and experienced growers alike
If you're growing in the South and you're not running Phoenix Oyster through summer, you're making your season harder than it needs to be. This is the workhorse.
Grow clean cultures. Grow proven genetics.
Let's Myceliate Tomorrow. 🍄
