Pleurotus djamor
Pink Oyster mushrooms
Pink oyster mushroom is a stunning pink color and resembles the flavor of seafood, making it a big hit with chefs. Can be grown year-round indoors or intercropped with greenhouse plant production in tropical climates and can fruit in as little as 7-10 days. A mushroom is the edible fruiting body of a fungus. Care should be taken with identification, as some mushrooms are toxic. Oyster mushrooms can be grown in wood or straw

Propagating by spores outdoors
From Mid Spring TO Early Autumn
Oyster Mushrooms can be grown outdoors from Spring to Autumn. They are grown in dowels, placed in logs,10-15 cms in diameter, made from hard wood (oak, birch, beech etc.) which need to be cut when the tree is dormant, and holes drilled to take the dowels. A 50 cm log will support 15-20 dowels. (For how to plant the dowels, see "Planting" event)
Planting dowels
From Early Spring TO Late Winter
To plant the dowels containing the mushroom mycelium (spawn), drill holes 6" apart down the length of the log, in rows 3" apart, and push the dowels into the holes until they are flush with the log. Seal with wax - and seal any cut branch ends or damaged areas in the bark, but NOT the log ends. Put the logs in a shady, wooded place, or under evergreen shrubs. If the log shows signs of cracking, soak it in water for a day or two, to wet the bark. Colonisation may take from 6 to 18 months
