Pink Oyster Mushroom spawn - 80 grams

Dive into the world of mushroom growing with our high-quality Pink Oyster Mushroom spawn. This unique species, also known as Takiiro Hiratake, stands out for its vivid pink colour.

Properties of the Spawn

• Latin name: Pleurotus djamor
• Suitable substrate: cellulose-rich material such as straw, hay, spent coffee grounds, and woody materials such as sawdust, wood chips or pellets.

How do you use the spawn?

You can use Pink Oyster Mushroom spawn in combination with a wide range of substrates. For the best results, however, 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 spawn. You can do this in a bucket, a grow bag or any other growing container of your choice. Keep in mind that this is a tropical species that 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 can vary depending on the specific growing conditions, such as temperature, humidity and light.

At room temperature (20-22°C), incubation usually takes 13 to 16 days, with the substrate temperature ideally staying between 25 and 30°C. Fruiting takes place at a relative humidity of 90-95% and a room temperature of 18-28°C. A light intensity of 800 to 1500 lux encourages optimal growth.

You can usually expect 2-3 harvests (also called flushes) at intervals of 10-12 days. Between the flushes, raise the relative humidity to stimulate production.
