Organic Pink Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit Fruiting Block
Organic Pink Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit Fruiting Block
SKU:LGL-BLOCK-PD1
Enjoy Unique, Pink Mushrooms
Our Pink Oyster Fruiting Blocks feature a tropical strain that produces beautiful clusters of mushrooms with light pink to deep pinkish-red caps, depending on lighting conditions. They are succulent and savory, have a denser texture than other oyster varieties, and their intense color and rich umami flavor make them a popular meat substitute.
Pink Oyster Mushrooms thrive in warmer temperatures and are great for beginners as they are reliable producers. They are also one of the easiest blocks to get subsequent fruitings and, if kept in the right conditions, should reliably produce a second flush or more!

FAQs
<h2>FAQs for Organic Pink Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit Fruiting Block</h2> <ul> <li> <strong>1. How do I get my Pink Oyster mushroom block to start growing?</strong><br> Just cut an 'X' into the plastic and place the block in a warm, humid spot with indirect light—ideally between 65–85°F. Mist it a few times daily to keep the surface moist. You should see baby mushrooms (pins) within a week! </li> <li> <strong>2. Can I grow these mushrooms indoors or in containers?</strong><br> Absolutely. This kit is designed for indoor growing and thrives in kitchens, bathrooms, or near sinks—places with natural humidity. A container isn't needed, just a humidity tent or regular misting to mimic tropical conditions. </li> <li> <strong>3. How long until I can harvest my Pink Oyster mushrooms?</strong><br> Most users see a full flush ready for harvest in 7–10 days after pinning. Harvest when the edges of the caps begin to flatten out—don’t wait too long or the texture can get tough. </li> <li> <strong>4. Can I get more than one harvest from the same block?</strong><br> Yes! Pink Oysters are known for producing multiple flushes. After the first harvest, rest the block for about a week, keep it moist, and it should fruit again. Many growers get 2–3 flushes with proper care. </li> <li> <strong>5. What do Pink Oyster mushrooms taste like and how do I use them?</strong><br> They have a rich umami flavor and a meaty texture—some say they’re like the bacon of the mushroom world. They’re great sautéed, grilled, or even used as a meat substitute in tacos, stir-fries, or pasta dishes. </li> </ul>
