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.
