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

We produce our mycelia 100% organically and all our products are certified "BE-BIO-01, Agriculture Belgium" by CERTISYS.

🌱 Growing conditions
Pink oyster mushrooms need more warmth than other oyster varieties. They grow well between 20 and 30°C. Maintain high humidity at the start of fruiting and avoid drafts as well as cool temperatures. Their beautiful pink color develops better with high light levels.
🛠️ Substrates
For indoor cultivation: Use pasteurized straw, pasteurized wood chips, or other lignocellulosic materials.
We recommend our organic straw pellets which work particularly well with oyster mushrooms, simply adding 1 teaspoon of lime and 2 liters of cold water per kilo of pellets.
Our wood sawdust-based substrate adapted to lignicolous varieties will also work very well.
📊 Cultivation parameters
Inoculation: 5-10% grains/wet substrate
Phase | Temperature | Duration | Moisture | 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 |
Primordia initiation | 18-25°C | 2-4 days | 95-100% | 1000-2000 lux | 500-1000 ppm | 5 to 8 volumes/h |
Fruiting | 20-30°C | 3-5 days, depending on the temperatures | 85-90% | 750-1500 lux | 500-1500 ppm | 5 to 8 volumes/h |

📈 Productivity
Average harvest of 150-250 g of fresh mushrooms per 1 kg of wet substrate, over 2 to 3 harvests.
