- How long until I can harvest?
- Expect pins in about a week and mature clusters in roughly 10 to 14 days after opening the block. Pink oysters are among the fastest fruiting varieties.
- How many flushes will I get?
- Usually two to three flushes from one block, with the first the largest. Yield is modest, so treat it as a small kitchen project rather than a steady supply.
- Where should I put it?
- A warm spot with indirect light and steady humidity, such as a kitchen counter away from drafts. Pink oysters fruit best around room temperature.
- Do I need special equipment?
- No. A spray bottle for misting is enough. A humidity tent or plastic bag over the block helps in dry homes.
- How do I store the mushrooms after picking?
- Keep them in a paper bag in the refrigerator and cook within a few days. Pink oysters are more fragile than store-bought varieties.
- Is it safe for children?
- Yes, the kit is non-toxic and simple to run. Supervise misting and keep the block away from pets.
