Appears as a typical Pleurotus ostreatus with heavy, but numerous clusters of fruit bodies shaded grey-blue (temperature below 15°C) to grey-brown. These are big, thick (diam. 7 to 10 cm) and short-stemmed. They are very tasty and they preserve well.

Incubation
|
room temperature: | 20-22 °C |
| substrate temperature: | 25-30 °C | |
| duration: | 19- 22 days | |
| Primordia induction | (night time)* temperature: | lower to 6-15 °C |
| relative humidity | 90- 95 % | |
| Fruiting conditions | room temperature: | (5-) 10-17 (-20) °C |
| relative humidity: | 85% | |
| CO2-concentration: | less than 800 ppm | |
| light: | 800- 1500 lux | |
| Flushes | number: | 2-Mar |
| interval: | 1-2 weeks | |
| between flushes: | relative humidity increase to 90% | |
| Total production cycle | Ca. 3 months | |
| Average yield | 200 to 250 g saleable mushrooms per kg fresh substrate | |
*Primordia are induced by a shock. For most mushroom species, this is done with a thermal shock, which is defined by the minimum temperature during the day-night cycle.
