Pink Oyster 'Plant & Grow' Garden Block

<h2>How to Plant & Grow Pink Oyster Mushrooms Outdoors</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Choose the Right Location:</strong> Find a shaded, humid spot like under trees, beside a fence, or a north-facing garden bed. Avoid direct sun.</li> <li><strong>Prepare the Block:</strong> Remove the plastic from the mushroom block entirely before planting.</li> <li><strong>Plant the Block:</strong> Bury the block so it’s fully covered with about 1 inch of soil or mulch. Don’t press too tightly—allow some airflow.</li> <li><strong>Maintain Moisture:</strong> Mist the soil or mulch 1–2 times daily in dry conditions. The block must stay moist but not soggy to initiate fruiting.</li> <li><strong>Temperature:</strong> Pink Oysters prefer 70–80°F, so plant in late spring or summer when nights are warm.</li> <li><strong>Mulch Carefully:</strong> Place straw or leaf mulch around (not directly on top of) the block. This helps retain moisture and regulate temperature while allowing air flow.</li> </ul> <h2>Harvesting Tips</h2> <ul> <li>Pick mushroom clusters when cap edges are still curled under. Overripe mushrooms flatten and drop spores quickly.</li> <li>Use both hands or a clean knife to gently harvest whole clusters—don’t rip them out.</li> <li>Expect multiple flushes. After each harvest, keep misting to encourage regrowth.</li> </ul> <p>Pink oysters grow fast—check daily once fruiting begins to harvest at peak quality. With just basic care, you’ll enjoy a vibrant and delicious mushroom crop right from your garden.</p>
