Blue Oyster the 'Curly'

Pleurotus columbinus
WX003
Excellent yield

Deep blue-grey pins and young caps with a striking appearance. We named it 'Curly' for its distinctive curly edge on the caps, unique from other blue oyster strains. Similar flavour to grey oyster but with a slightly more tender texture. Grows in beautiful layered clusters.

A distinct species from the common grey oyster, P. columbinus is known for its deeper, more uniform blue-grey colouring and a slightly denser cap texture. It tends to produce large, layered clusters and holds its shape well after harvest.
