Pink oyster mushroom grain spawn

Pink Oyster Mushrooms are a vibrant and fast-growing variety that add a splash of colour to your mushroom growing experience. They form striking pink clusters with a delicate, meaty flavour, perfect for enhancing a range of dishes including stir-fries, curries, and pasta.

These mushrooms thrive in warm temperatures (20–30°C) and high humidity (85–95%). They are ideal for home cultivation and particularly well-suited to warmer environments, making them a great choice during the summer months or in heated indoor spaces.

They grow well on nutrient-rich substrates such as straw, sawdust, or prepared mushroom substrates. For best results, ensure the substrate is pasteurised or sterilised to eliminate contaminants, and allow it to cool to room temperature before inoculating with spawn. Adding supplements like wheat bran can help boost yields and improve mushroom quality.

Pink Oyster Mushrooms typically colonise their substrate in 7 to 10 days, with fruiting usually beginning within 5 to 7 days after full colonisation. Under the right conditions, you can enjoy your first harvest in as little as 2 to 3 weeks from inoculation.
