"Oyster Mushroom, Tree Oyster, Hiratake, Tamogitake"

Pure mushroom culture on agar - medium

Growing conditions:
Spawn run: 24 °C
Primordia formation: 10 - 15 ° C
Fruiting: 10 – 21 ° C

Convenient substrate:
Hardwood (most suitable: oak, beech, cottonwood, maple, aspen, elm, ash, birch, willow), bale of wheat straw
For indoor cultivation we recommend woodchips or wheat straw mixture in substrate bags.

Mycorestoration use against:

Dioxins - polychlorinated dibenzodioxins PCDD / PCDF (the major sources of dioxins are: Coal fired utilities, Municipal waste incinerators, Metal smelting, Diesel trucks, Land application of sewage sludge, Burning treated wood, Trash burn barrels; Dioxins accumulate in food chains. This means that even small concentrations in contaminated soil or water can be concentrated up a food chain to dangerous levels due to the long biological half life and low water solubility of dioxins.))

PCB Polychlorinated biphenyls (cancer-causing chemical chlor compounds– common use: i.e. transformers, capacitors, hydraulic installation s, and as a diluent / softener for lacquer, sealing compounds, insulating and plastic products.)

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - PAH (common use for dye, insecticide; pesticide, stabilizers, pharmacons, softener, dissolver, plastic products)

Petroleum products (fuel oil; heating oil, diesel, petrol, gasoline an other mineral oil products)

TNT Trinitrotoluol (TNT is one of the most commonly used explosives for military and industrial applications.)

Cadmium (is produced mainly as a byproduct from mining, smelting, and refining sulfide ores of zinc, and, to a lesser degree, lead and copper. It is also component of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.)

Mercury (is used in thermometers, barometers, manometers, sphygmomanometers, float valves, and other scientific apparatus. The largest emission source is burning coal. Mercury is a high toxic heavy metal. In the European Union, Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment bans the usage of mercury.)

General procedure:

Mushrooms use strong enymes to decompose primary structural components of wood (lignin and cellulose. The same enzymes can be used to absorb and neutralise heavy metals and toxins, and removing them permanently.

Mycelium (spawn) of a convenient mushroom species is distributed over the contaminated area. Mix the spawn with fresh baic material (i.e. wood chips) and cover the source of toxication extensive.

While the mushroom mycleium grows all over the contaminated soil, toxins are absorbed or decomposed. The mushoom will accumulate this toxins in the fruiting bodies. Therfor please dispose them after harvest. This is the way how you get your garden clear of toxins and heavy metal!

This culture was cultivated from spores by our mycological team and refined via natural selection. We declare explicit that you may use this cultures only for inoculation of substrates. Copiing and reselling is expressly prohibited!

Important informations for ordering process of cultures:
Please note, that this mushroom cultures are inoculated fresh for each order.
Lead time: We shipp your culture as soon, as the agar-medium is fully colonized.
This will take aprrox. 4 weeks after we received payment.
Living culures will only survive a few days during shipping.
Therefor we can only guarantee a perfect quality for shippings with EMS Express Mail Service or DPD Direct Parcle Distribution.

Important information for shippings to any country which is NOT member of the EU:
Please check the import regulations of your country. There may be a quarantine for living cultures. In this case the culture may arrive in a bad quality at your place.
