How do you use the brood?

You can use the brood of the Pink Oyster Mushroom in combination with a wide range of substrates. However, for optimal results we recommend using it with our pre-mixed Master's Mix substrate. This substrate is already prepared with the ideal nutrients and conditions for the Pink Oyster Mushroom to grow.

Inoculate your chosen substrate by mixing it with the brood. This can be done in a bucket, grow bag or another culture vessel of your choice. Please note that this is a tropical strain and only performs at temperatures above 12°C.

Growth and Harvest

Pink Oyster Mushrooms are a fast growing species, with the first fruiting bodies usually developing within 3 to 6 weeks after inoculation. The exact timing may vary depending on specific growing conditions, such as temperature, humidity and light.

At room temperature (20-22°C), incubation typically lasts 13 to 16 days, with the substrate temperature ideally remaining between 25 and 30°C. Fruit setting takes place at a relative humidity of 90-95% and a room temperature of 18-28°C. Light intensity of 800 to 1500 lux promotes optimal growth.

You can usually expect 2-3 harvests (also called flushes) with an interval of 10-12 days. Between flushes, increase relative humidity to stimulate production.
