Another oyster mushroom worth mentioning is the Pink Oyster. This is a tropical heat loving species that surprisingly grows year-round for us. It’s primary claim to fame is its intense pink coloration. Our strain is so intense when grown right next to a light source that it borders on being red in places making it an all-around eye-catcher. This mushroom, like many tropical mushrooms has a shorter shelf life of about 3 days before getting limp and floppy. We love the jerky made from it.
