King Oyster Mushroom
Pleurotus eryngii
10 cc/mL liquid culture
Pleurotus eryngii is the largest known member of the genus Pleurotus and has an interesting taxonomic relationship with several closely related taxa historically grouped under the name. It is commonly referred to as King Oyster, King Trumpet, French Horn, and Trumpet Royale, making these names useful when researching cultivation literature and older commercial references. Unlike many Pleurotus species that are primarily associated with clustered forms, P. eryngii is notable for its distinctive solitary or sparsely clustered habit and its strong association with plants in the Apiaceae family in natural habitats. Modern molecular research has also identified multiple lineages within the broader P. eryngii complex, making it a useful subject for comparative studies of taxonomy and population diversity.
