Description

The king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) is a type of edible mushroom that is highly prized for its meaty texture and mild, nutty flavor. It is also known by other names such as the king trumpet mushroom and French horn mushroom.

The king oyster mushroom is native to the Mediterranean region, but is now grown and consumed in many parts of the world. It is a large, cylindrical mushroom with a thick stem and a small cap, and can grow up to 6 inches (15 cm) in length.

In addition to its culinary uses, the king oyster mushroom is also being studied for its potential health benefits. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins, and contains compounds such as ergothioneine and polysaccharides, which have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. King oyster mushrooms may also have cholesterol-lowering effects, and may help improve gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

King oyster mushrooms can be used in a variety of dishes, such as stir-fries, soups, and pasta dishes. They can also be grilled or roasted and served as a meat substitute. ©

WHAT IS LIQUID CULTURE?

Liquid culture is a a nutrient rich broth made up of distilled water, mixed with light malt extract dextrose and honey to create a mix for the mycelium to feed on. You can think of mycelium as the mushroom seed, this can then be used to inoculate a grow kit or substrate mix to start grow mushrooms.

We regularly test all of our liquid cultures on agar and grain to guarantee you only get the highest quality culture.
