FAST COLONISING, HIGH-YIELDING PINK OYSTER GENETICS IN LIQUID FORM  

Pink Oyster mushrooms are impossible to ignore - vibrant, coral-pink in colour with a meaty texture and a subtle, smoky flavour that’s almost like bacon when cooked right. Native to tropical regions including Southeast Asia and parts of Central America, they’ve been part of traditional diets for generations.

In the past, Pink Oysters were sometimes used in folk practices as a general tonic for energy and vitality, though their true value has always been in the kitchen. These days, they’re gaining popularity not just for their looks and taste, but also for what they bring to the table nutritionally (1).

They’re low in calories, high in fibre, and a surprising source of plant-based protein. Researchers are taking a closer look at their beta-glucans and antioxidants, bioactive compounds which may support immune function and help the body manage oxidative stress (2).

Pink Oysters aren’t just nice to look at, but they boast a savoury umami flavour with a satisfying texture which works brilliantly in countless dishes. Sautéed, roasted, garnished, whatever your method, they bring a little something extra to the plate. And they grow fast and easily, which means they’re a fun pick for anyone who’s interested in growing their own mushrooms.

Through extensive research and development, we've fine-tuned a unique blend of malt and yeast extracts that give your mycelium the perfect balance of protein and carbohydrates that it needs to grow. Ultimately, promoting healthy growth and rapid colonisation.  

Our liquid cultures are crafted in our lab using pure mushroom cultures from our own commercial master cultures. We guarantee that every culture is 100% contaminant-free and rigorously tested to ensure the health and quality of every strain.  

THE BENEFITS   

HOW TO USE  

The process is simple:   

1. Preparation: Take your culture syringe and shake it vigorously for 10 seconds. Unscrew the syringe cap. Fit the sterile needle onto the syringe.  

2. Inoculation: Inoculate your grain spawn or substrate with 5ml of liquid culture via the injection port and leave it to colonise.   

3. Colonisation: Within 3 to 4 weeks, the grain or substrate will colonise fully and be ready to spawn to bulk or fruit.  

GROWING CONDITIONS  

Substrate: Hardwood or 50/50 blend of hardwood and soy hulls (Masters Mix) hydrated to around 60%.  

Temperature:    

Humidity: High humidity (over 80%) is essential for healthy, large fruits. Use misting, humidifiers, or a fruiting chamber to maintain humidity.   

Light:   

Fresh Air Exchange (FAE): Proper ventilation is necessary to provide the growing mushrooms with fresh air and prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide, which can inhibit growth.     

Sterility: Maintaining a clean and sterile environment is paramount to prevent contamination from other fungi or bacteria, which can compete with the mycelium and hinder its growth.  

WHAT’S INCLUDED  

STORAGE  

For long-term storage, keep liquid culture syringes in a dark place and preferably in a fridge at 2 to 8°C. They will last up to a year or more if stored correctly. Only certain tropical species like the Pink Oyster should be stored at room temperature.
