The Phoenix Oyster is an aggressive mushroom that fruits easily on a wide range of substrates. This is the most popular mushroom for beginners and is the top choice for introductory mushroom cultivation demonstrations. Fresh oyster mushrooms seen at markets are most often this species. The aggressive and productive nature that makes this mushroom popular also makes it quick to decay after maturity. Harvested mushrooms may continue to grow even if refrigerated and often spontaneously form new primordia. Mushrooms should be consumed or dried within days of harvest for best quality. These mushrooms need plenty of fresh air to develop normally. High carbon dioxide levels from mushroom metabolism will accumulate in sealed growing environments and can reduce cap size and elongate stems severely. Our Edible and Gourmet Spawn Starter Kits include everything you need to begin the generation of edible and gourmet mushroom spawn. These kits include the edible mushroom culture and a number of our pre-sterilized bags of rye berries. The Bags included with this kit are specifically designed for primary spawn generation. If you are seeking a Grow Kit product for contained fruiting of Phoenix Oyster Mushrooms, please see our Phoenix Oyster Straw Based Grow Kits. Small kit includes one bag and 3cc culture syringe. Medium kit includes four bags and a 10cc culture syringe. Large kit includes ten bags and a 10cc culture syringe. Each bag contains just over 1 pound of precooked and pre-sterilized rye berries that can be used for primary spawn generation with culture injection through the self-healing injection site. To use, unfold the Bag, allowing the extra bag material to stand straight up. Locate the small foam disk sealed and attached in a plastic housing near the base of the Bag. This disc is the self-healing injector site. Note: The disc will be covered by a small plastic shield. Do not attempt to remove the plastic covering the disc, you will inject through it. Sterilize a small section of the outside of the Bag (on the plastic shield) directly over the foam disc with an alcohol soaked wipe. With the same alcohol soaked wipe, sterilize the needle on your culture syringe. Inoculate the substrate with culture syringe(included) solution by inserting the needle through the plastic shield and foam disc at the previously sterilized spot and squirting 1cc of culture solution into the mixture. Mix culture solution thoroughly by shaking the syringe before injection. (Faster colonization can be achieved by squirt
