Pink Oyster Mushrooms

For best results, your kit will need to be opened within 3 days of receipt. Until then, please store in a cool dark location with an even temperature, and do store not below 10°C (50°F). A full set of instructions can be found inside your kit bag. All paper and card can be recycled with your standard card recycling. The plastic bag can be cleaned and recycled with your soft plastic recycling. The outer bag and substate block can be composted or disposed of along with your normal food waste. When you receive your kit you must open within three days. Store your Pink Oyster Mushroom kit at 10-15°C (50-58°F) before opening. Ideal growing temperature parameters are 17-22°C (62-72°F). Lower temperatures can lead to slower growth and higher temps can lead to the substrate and mushrooms drying out, if not sufficiently watered during the day and growing period - increase watering in warmer temperatures.

Open your kits following the instructions with clean scissors. Do not carve, dig or scratch into substrate surface, and do not remove or peel back the opening of the grow bag. This opening will allow enough air and water into the substrate to initiate fruiting.

Place your kit in a light position and out of direct sunlight (they don’t need to be grown in the dark). Mist the opening of your kit at least twice a day with water. You can expect to see the primordia of your mushrooms forming within 14 days. Continue to water your mushrooms once they begin to form and until you harvest them, give a light misting twice a day during the growing phase. Harvest your mushrooms once the largest in the flush begin to flatten out at the edge of the mushroom and before they begin to dry out. Remove all mushrooms at once, the smaller mushrooms will not continue to grow once some have been harvested.
