SANTANA RF 336

Strain Genetics and Production Characteristics

The oyster mushroom strain SANTANA RF 336, developed by Ooo Pkp Santana (originators Sergey Maslennikov and Alexey Nizovoy), is engineered for industrial-scale cultivation. The strain's technical superiority lies in its optimized metabolic pathway, which ensures a high yield of firm, aesthetically consistent fruiting bodies with a characteristic brown cap.

Technical Cycle and Efficiency

SANTANA RF 336 is designed to provide predictable results throughout the production cycle. The strain reliably produces 2–3 flushes, making it a robust choice for commercial growers seeking high biomass output per substrate unit.

• Colonization Speed: The mycelium demonstrates aggressive growth kinetics, effectively reducing incubation times and minimizing the window for substrate contamination.
• Fruit Body Quality: The dark brown coloration is a testament to the strain’s high adaptation to light control parameters. The structural integrity of the mushroom tissue provides superior shelf life and resilience during shipping and handling.
• Fruiting Dynamics: Achieving consistent productivity requires strict environmental control. The strain’s development during the pinning phase is highly responsive to air circulation and CO2 management, which helps prevent malformation of the stem.

By leveraging the balanced genetic profile of SANTANA RF 336, producers can streamline their operational flow, ensuring that the transition from vegetative growth to harvest is efficient and yields high-grade, commercial-ready product.
