The Pink Oyster Mushroom is similar to the Pleurotus ostreatus in shape and appearance. The young fruiting bodies are bright reddish-pink and become light pink to salmon-colored as they mature. The cap is initially convex and flattens over time. The cap margin is initially curled inward, then may become flatter and upright with age.

You receive fully colonized spawn dowels (for inoculating wood logs.)
1 pack of 500 dowels is sufficient for 5 wood logs.
1 pack of 1.000 dowels is sufficient for 10 - 20 wood logs..

Inoculation with spawn dowels is traditionally used in mushroom gardens and recommended for beginners. Depending on the species, mushrooms can be harvested over several years - until the fungus has depleted all nutrients in the substrate. The fruiting bodies typically appear from the second year onwards and continue for 3 - 5 years, coinciding with the mushroom season. The expected harvest yield is approximately 10 % of the fresh woods weight, spread out over multiple harvests during the 3 - 5 period.
