Pearl Oyster Liquid Culture: Classic, Dependable, and High-Yielding
What Makes Pearl Oyster LC a Staple
- Even, Predictable Colonizer: Pearl Oyster spreads smoothly across grains with thick, creamy mycelium.
- Perfect Temp Range: Colonizes at 20–24°C and fruits best at 15–20°C.
- Beginner-Proof: Handles imperfect humidity and airflow better than almost any gourmet species.
- Mild Sweet Aroma: Fresh Pearl Oysters smell clean and lightly fragrant.
- Buttery Seafood-Like Flavour: Soft, tender caps that pair effortlessly with most dishes.
Timeline & Growth Expectations
- Grain Colonization: ~10–13 days at room temperature.
- Substrate Colonization: 5–8 days after mixing into CVG or hardwood.
- Pin Initiation: 4–6 days after increased fresh air.
- Total Time From Injection: ~20–27 days.
Best Formats for Pearl Oyster LC
- Sawdust Blocks: Great for commercial-style fruiting.
- Rye & Millet Grain Bags: For strong, even colonization.

Ordered 20 plates + Lions Mane culture. One plate had a tiny crack in shipping. Sent a pic to Roman, he shipped two replacements the same day. Culture is absolutely ripping — already on T3.

Best pre-poured plates I’ve bought in Canada. Thick agar, zero condensation, still perfect after 2 months in the fridge. Supportive little family company — highly recommend.

Golden Oyster syringe + 10 plates. Plates poured thicker than any US vendor I’ve tried. Very satisfied!

Blue Oyster liquid culture is stupid clean. One of the owners (Roman?) replied to my silly question in 3 minutes. You don’t get that from the big guys.

Black Pearl King syringe made trunks thicker than store-bought. Hand-written thank-you note in the box — nice touch from a family shop!

Montreal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Golden Oyster LC syringe turned 10 lbs of grain - snow-white in 13 days. They threw in free alcohol wipes and some extra needles — small gesture, big appreciation.

Ordered to the rock and everything survived the trip. Lion’s Mane plates are pouring out perfect cultures. Keep doing what you’re doing, fam!

Finally found a Canadian vendor with stable genetics. Got the Grey Oysters and it’s true to type. Roman spent 20 minutes explaining isolation technique to me — way more info than I expected.

Edmonton ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Plates are poured thick and perfect. Asked Roman which agar recipe they use — he sent me the exact ratios plus malt percentages. Made my own batch and they’re identical. 10/10 service.

Mystery syringe sale turned out to be Shitake mushrooms. Growth is insane. Roman answered all my paranoid contamination questions at 2 a.m. You guys rock.

Fast shipping, but one sleeve of plates arrived with condensation. They told me how to fix it in the fridge overnight — saved the whole batch. Customer service is unreal.
