The Pink Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus salmoneostramineus) is native to Southeast Asia. This mushroom thrives in warm conditions, with an ideal temperature of 25–30°C. It is therefore primarily cultivated in the summer in European countries. Avoid prolonged periods of cold weather, which can harm the mycelium.
🎨 The fruit's colors, ranging from light pink to dark pink, are beautiful, and it is relatively easy to grow. This variety is hardy and resistant to disease.
❄️ Storage of the mycelium: 2–4 weeks. Unlike other varieties of pink oyster mushrooms, this one can withstand temperatures as low as 4°C. It is best to store it at 6–8°C and use it quickly.

🌱 Growing conditions
Pink oyster mushrooms require more heat than other varieties of oyster mushrooms. They grow best at temperatures between 20 and 30°C. Maintain high humidity at the start of fruiting avoid drafts and cool temperatures. Their beautiful pink color develops best in bright light.
🛠️ Growing media
For indoor cultivation: Use pasteurized straw, pasteurized sawdust, or other lignocellulosic materials.
We recommend ourorganic straw pellets, which work particularly well with oyster mushrooms; simply add 1 teaspoon of lime and 2 liters of cold water per kilogram of pellets.
Our sawdust-based growing medium, which is suitable for wood-eating plant varieties, will also work very well.
📊 Growing conditions
Inoculation: 5–10% grains per unit of moist substrate
| Phase | Temperature | Duration | Humidity | Light | CO2 | Fresh air |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Incubation | 24–30°C | 7–15 days. Colonization occurs much more quickly on straw than on sawdust. | - | n/a | n/a | n/a |
| Formation of primordial cells | 18–25°C | 2–4 days | 95–100% | 1,000–2,000 lux | 500–1,000 ppm | 5 to 8 cubic feet per hour |
| fruiting | 20–30°C | 3–5 days, depending on the temperature | 85–90% | 750–1,500 lux | 500–1,500 ppm | 5 to 8 cubic feet per hour |
