Species Profile

Pink Oysters (Pleurotus djamor) produce beautiful flushes of light to pinkish-red mushrooms. Not only do these mushrooms look exotic with their intense colour and often wavy edges, but they are also have a denser texture than most other varieties of oyster mushrooms.

Native to the tropics, these beauties grow best at warmer temperatures (~22oC - 30oC) and high humidity and have a shorter shelf life than other oyster species.


Description

Our 1kg bags of grain spawn are grown using mycelium cultures in our lab. We use sterilized organic rye grain sourced from the Canadian prairies through Grainworks. We make your spawn to order.

We incubate your freshly made spawn between 2-4 weeks to ensure it is strong and healthy. We then ship via Canada Post or notify you for pickup.

Use

Grain spawn must be mixed
with a bulk substrate to fruit mushrooms.

We recommend:

Experienced growers: Use this spawn to inoculate sterilized nutrified sawdust in filter bags. under sterile conditions. At a 10% inoculation rate, 1 bag of grain spawn (1kg) will inoculate about 10 to 12 14A Unicorn filter bags of sterilized substrate.

Education

If you are new to growing, we highly recommend you take a workshop or buy a book on mushroom cultivation.

Care information

If you don’t plan to use your spawn immediately store it in a cool, dark, dry area for up to 4 weeks. DO NOT STORE PINK OYSTER SPAWN IN THE FRIDGE.
