Pink Oyster 'Plant & Grow' Mushroom Block
Outdoor-ready.
The short version
Outdoor-ready. Grows in your garden bed in 3 weeks.
A fully colonised substrate block that fruit outdoors in almost any garden bed. Break it open, bury it under a couple of inches of soil and straw, and pink oyster mushrooms push up through the mulch within three weeks. No grow room, no humidity tent, no experience required.

Inoculation
Open the block and inoculate
The substrate block arrives colonised with active mycelium. Open the bag, break the surface open to the mycelium, and place the block in a fruiting chamber or a cool, shaded garden spot.

How to grow it
Step by step, no guesswork
Open and set
2 minutes
Cut the bag open and place the block on a bed of soil mixed with straw, or directly on a shaded patch of soil. Keep the block surface exposed to the air, not buried deeper than two inches.
Cover and keep moist
2 minutes
Cover with a loose layer of straw or mulch so the block stays dark and moist but can still breathe. A sheet of cardboard on top keeps it shaded while the mycelium establishes.
Water lightly
30 seconds, every other day
Mist or water the area every other day, keeping it evenly damp rather than soaked.
Watch for pins
Day 18-28
In about two to three weeks you will see small pink pins pushing up through the mulch. Do not pull them. Let them open fully for the best texture.
Harvest
Day 21-28
Twist the whole cluster free at the base when the caps are still slightly rounded and the gills are pink-grey. Leave the block in place and keep it moist for a second, smaller flush.

What growers say
Reviews from customers who harvested their own mushrooms.
First harvest in nine days
“Bought this as a total beginner and had a full cluster on my counter a week and a half later. The instructions were actually clear.”
Way more than I expected
“The block is heavy and arrived properly colonised. Two flushes so far and the second one was bigger than the first.”
Great, but read the humidity notes
“Support replied the same day with a humidity tip and it solved it. Cluster looked exactly like the photos on the product page.”
