Yellow Oyster Mushroom Liquid Culture 10ml Syringe – Pleurotus citrinopileatus Premium Strain – Ready-to-Inoculate – UK Next-Day Discreet Delivery

Elevate your gourmet mushroom growing game with the Yellow Oyster Mushroom Liquid Culture 10ml Syringe from UK Mushrooms OK – the UK’s premier supplier of professional-grade mycology cultures for home and small-scale commercial cultivators. This vibrant Pleurotus citrinopileatus strain, also known as Golden Oyster or Lemon Oyster, produces stunning clusters of bright yellow to golden caps that fade to pale cream as they mature, offering not only exceptional visual appeal but also a delicate, nutty flavour with subtle anise notes. Each sterile 10ml syringe is packed with aggressive, fully colonised mycelium from a high-performing commercial isolate, complete with luer-lock cap and separate 16-gauge sterile needle for immediate inoculation of grain jars, substrate bags, or agar plates.

Yellow Oyster mushrooms are among the most sought-after gourmet varieties in the UK market, prized by chefs in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, and beyond for their striking colour, tender texture, and versatility in dishes like stir-fries, pastas, soups, vegan scallops, and gourmet pizzas. The caps grow in beautiful fan-shaped clusters of 5–15cm diameter, with thin flesh that cooks quickly and absorbs flavours beautifully. Nutritionally, they are low-calorie, high in protein, fibre, B vitamins, potassium, and antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to any diet. Home growers love this strain for its rapid colonisation, high yields (up to 30–40% biological efficiency on pasteurised straw or supplemented sawdust), and forgiving nature – fruiting reliably even for beginners.

Our Yellow Oyster liquid culture is produced in a HEPA-filtered laboratory environment, pressure-sterilised, and third-party tested for contaminants, ensuring near-100% success rates. The mycelium appears as thick, white, rhizomorphic strands in the nutrient broth, ready to explode into growth upon inoculation. Compared to spore syringes, liquid culture provides dramatically faster colonisation (visible mycelium on grain in 5–10 days, full jar in 2–3 weeks) and more consistent fruiting bodies with vibrant colour and superior flavour.

Step-by-step cultivation guide for Yellow Oyster mushrooms:

Inoculate 1–3ml per litre of sterilised grain (rye, millet, or wheat) using sterile technique.
Incubate at 22–26°C in darkness until fully colonised (10–18 days).
Mix colonised grain with pasteurised substrate (straw is ideal – cheap and high-yielding).
Pack into bags or buckets, incubate briefly, then move to fruiting conditions: 18–24°C, 85–95% humidity, indirect light, and daily fresh air.
First pins appear in 7–14 days post-colonisation; harvest clusters when caps begin to flatten.
Expect 2–4 strong flushes over 6–8 weeks.

Yellow Oysters fruit best in cooler conditions than Blue or Pink Oysters, making them perfect for UK indoor growing year-round without excessive heating. The bright colour is most intense when grown in moderate light – too much direct sun can bleach them to pale cream. Dried Yellow Oysters retain excellent flavour for powders, stocks, or seasoning blends.

Compared to other Oyster strains at UK Mushrooms OK:

More vibrant colour and delicate flavour than Grey or Blue Oysters
Faster fruiting than King Oysters
Similar aggression to Pink Oysters but with unique golden appearance
