+- 2 weeks. Consult all our deadlines
The Pink Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus salmoneostramineus) is native to Southeast Asia. This mushroom particularly appreciates heat, with an ideal temperature of 25-30°C. It is therefore mainly cultivated in summer in European countries. Avoid periods of prolonged cold which can harm the mycelium.
🎨The fruit colors, ranging from light to dark pink, are beautiful and growing is relatively easy. This variety is robust and resistant to contamination.
❄️ Mycelium conservation: 2-4 weeks. Unlike other varieties of pink oyster mushrooms, this one can withstand temperatures of up to 4°C. The ideal is to store it at 6-8°C and use it quickly.

🌱 Growing conditions
Pink oyster mushrooms need more heat than other varieties of oyster mushrooms. They grow well between 20 and 30°C. Maintain high humidity at the start of fruiting and avoid drafts and cool temperatures. Their beautiful pink color develops best with high brightness.
🛠️ Substrates
Use pasteurized straw, pasteurized sawdust or other lignocellulosic materials. These mushrooms can be grown indoors or outdoors. We recommend our ready-to-use substrate , which is particularly suitable for wood-eating varieties.
📊 Culture Settings
Inoculation: 5-10% mycelium on grains /moist substrate
Phase | Temperature | Duration | Humidity | Light | CO2 | Fresh air |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Incubation | 24-30°C | 7-15 days. Colonization is much faster on straw than on sawdust. | - | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Initiation of primordia | 18-25°C | 2-4 days | 95-100% | 1000-2000 lux | 500-1000 ppm | 5 to 8 volumes/h |
Fructification | 20-30°C | 3-5 days, depending on the temperatures | 85-90% | 750-1500 lux | 500-1500 ppm | 5 to 8 volumes/h |
📚 This data comes from the book “Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms” by P. Stamets. They are given as an indication, each myciculturist having particular growing conditions, there may be individual variations.
📈 Productivity
Average harvest of 150-250 g of fresh mushrooms per 1 kg of wet substrate, over 2 to 3 harvests.
