Pleurotus citrinopileatus, the yellow or golden oyster mushroom (tamogitake in Japanese), is an edible gilled fungus. Native to eastern Russia, northern China, and Japan, the golden oyster mushroom is very closely related to P. cornucopiae of Europe, with some authors considering them to be at the rank of subspecies. In far eastern Russia, they are called iI'mak, is one of the most popular wild edible mushrooms.

Easily grow your own Golden Oyster Mushrooms for years to come. Golden Oyster Mushroom Plug Spawn is wood dowels inoculated with the Golden Oyster Mushroom species mycelium, and used to grow mushroom fruiting bodies on freshly cut logs or stumps. You will specifically need hardwood logs such as Alder, Ash, Birch, Bitternut, Cherry, Chestnut, Hophornbeam, Ironwood, Maple, Oak, Pecan, Sweet gum, Sycamore, Tulip poplar, Walnut, Willow. Golden Oyster Mushrooms do not grow on conifers.

Simply drill 5/16" holes 1" deep to hammer the Golden Oyster Mushroom plugs into. The holes should be drilled right before plugging them, and spaced about 4" apart. Logs should be roughly 6 inches in diameter and four feet long. They need to be freshly cut, or at least cut within the past 20 days. Avoid using logs with missing or split bark, try to find unpenetrated logs, except on the sides they were cut.

Golden Oyster Mushroom Plug spawn can also be used to grow mushrooms on live trees, but should only be done strategically down branch where pruning is planned later. Our Golden Oyster Mushroom plug spawn is made from hardwood fluted or spiral dowels.
