The
Golden Oyster is an attractive fast growing mushroom
that fruits easily on a wide range of ligneous
substrates. The mushrooms grow in clusters of
small, thin fleshed, funnel-shaped bright yellow
caps.
The
flavor improves dramatically with thorough cooking.
Mushrooms tend to be bitter and sour when raw
or undercooked.
The
Golden Oyster is not as productive as other oyster
mushrooms, So expect only 2 flushes before the
substrate is exhausted. The temperature must be
at least 65F to initiate fruiting. These mushrooms
also need plenty of fresh air to develop normally.
High carbon dioxide levels from mushroom metabolism
will accumulate in sealed growing environments
and may reduce cap size severely.
