Also known as King Trumpet or King Oyster.
King Trumpets are definitely the best tasting and best textured of the Oyster mushrooms. While the stem of most Oyster mushrooms tend to be tough and leathery, the King Trumpet is firm, pleasantly chewy with a sweet nutty flavor.
It's easy to fruit on hardwoods. My substrate is a mix of Oak sawdust, chips and rice bran. This mushroom may grow quite large, up to 7 inches long but is generally harvested at a smaller size. It is the only Oyster species that ships well and has an extended shelf-life.
Fruiting was done in an open air greenhouse. I usually get two crops, 14 days apart.
Temps are kept around 60 degrees F. with humidity staying around 90%.
