Pleurotus calyptratus liquid culture, hard-to-find oyster mushroom for wood-based cultivation exotic collections and advanced mushroom growers

Pleurotus calyptratus is an exceptionally rare and little-known oyster mushroom species native to parts of Eastern Europe and Asia. This elusive fungus is found growing on dead poplar trees and is prized by collectors and mycologists for its unusual growth habit and limited availability. Unlike common oyster mushrooms, Pleurotus calyptratus forms a distinct fruiting body with a partial veil and grows in small clusters under very specific environmental conditions.

This liquid culture offers a clean and viable strain of Pleurotus calyptratus, making it possible for advanced growers and collectors to cultivate this rarity at home or in lab settings. It can be grown on pasteurized hardwood sawdust, straw, or other lignin-rich substrates under carefully managed conditions.

Key features:

• Species: Pleurotus calyptratus

• Type: Liquid mushroom culture in sterile nutrient solution

• Ideal for: Hardwood sawdust blocks, straw substrate bags, rare mushroom collections

• Growth habit: Small clusters of uniquely shaped caps with partial veils and short stems

• Culinary use: Edibility not well documented, cultivated primarily for research or collection purposes

Why grow Pleurotus calyptratus:

• Extremely rare oyster mushroom not often seen in cultivation

• Ideal for advanced growers, researchers, or mushroom collectors

• Adds uniqueness and scientific value to personal mycology projects

• Performs best under cool and humid conditions on hardwood substrates

• Sought after for fungal biodiversity and conservation

How to use:
Inoculate sterilized grain with Pleurotus calyptratus liquid culture. Transfer to pasteurized hardwood sawdust or straw substrate in bags or jars. Maintain cool temperatures and high humidity. Fruiting is unpredictable and may require experimental methods to achieve success.

Pleurotus calyptratus liquid culture is perfect for those seeking to explore rare fungal species and grow one of the most elusive oyster mushrooms in the world.
