❓ What You Should Know

Slower colonizer taking 21-28 days at 65-70°F. Our strain performs best on supplemented hardwood with added limestone. Requires cold shock (40-50°F for 24 hours) to initiate pinning. Important: This species needs a proper casing layer for fruiting. Key tip: The characteristic purple coloration develops best with exposure to light during fruiting. Watch for temperature spikes - anything above 75°F can stall growth.

📚 Mushroom History

Historically collected in European forests since medieval times, particularly in France where it was known as "pied bleu." Scientific cultivation began in France in the 1950s, but commercial production remained limited until the 1990s. The mushroom gained renewed interest in the 2010s due to its unique color and flavor profile, though cultivation remains specialized.
