Spawn for King Oyster mushroom

Cultivate your own Pleurotus Eryngii using King Oyster mushroom spawn, also known as King Trumpet! This large, meaty mushroom with a thick stem and relatively small cap is an excellent meat alternative and is often found on restaurant menus. While regular oyster mushrooms are typically used mainly for their caps, the King Oyster mushroom is enjoyed whole. The King Oyster mushroom—also known in the Netherlands as Duinvoetje—has a firm texture that, once cooked, closely resembles that of meat.

Growing King Oyster mushrooms is very easy and can be done indoors. They can be cultivated on straw, sawdust, or a special Masters Mix. King Oyster mushrooms originate from the Mediterranean region and are widely used in Asian cuisines such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean, where King Oysters are also cultivated on a large scale. This impressive mushroom keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week and retains its shape during cooking. Its texture is sometimes compared to abalone or scallops, making it an appealing option for vegetarians and often marketed as mushroom steaks or vegan scallops.
