The cap of oak oyster mushroom has a semicircular or elliptical shape, sometimes tongue-shaped. The wide part of the fungus is usually tucked up by 5-10 cm throughout the entire life cycle of the fungus. The color is grayish-white, sometimes slightly brownish, quite variable. The slightly rough surface of the oyster mushroom cap is covered with dark small scales. The flesh of the cap is elastic, thick and light, has a pleasant mushroom smell.
The plates are white, often located, descending deep along the stem, of a lighter shade than the stem. With age, the plates can take on a dirty yellow color. The plates of young oyster mushrooms are covered with a white coating of light gray or white. It is on this basis that oak oyster mushroom is determined.
Spore powder is white.

The stem is thick (1-3 cm thick, 2-5 cm long), slightly tapering at the base, short and eccentric. Has the color of the cap or slightly lighter. The flesh of the leg is white with a yellow tint, fibrous and hard at the base.

Despite the name, oak oyster mushroom bears fruit on the remains of various trees, and not just on oaks. The fruiting of oak oyster mushroom occurs in July-September, which brings it closer to white (lung) oyster mushroom.

It grows very well, like any kind of oyster mushroom. The main thing is to buy healthy high-quality mycelium.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROWING WOOD-DESTROYING MUSHROOMS

Instructions for growing wood-destroying mushrooms on plant residues in bags (intensive method)
1. The substrate is homogeneous (eg, only straw) or combined in any proportions of two or more components (eg, straw + hay + sawdust) into a container and pour boiling water over it.
2. Allow the steamed substrate to cool naturally to room temperature.
