Mycelium is extremely sensitive to temperature changes and transport conditions.
And mushroom grain spawn is alive with mushroom mycelium. That’s why we strongly recommend shipping grain spawn via Express Post.

Species name: Pleurotus djamor
Pink Oysters love the warmer temperatures which make them a fantastic mushroom for home-growers in sub-tropical and tropical climates. This species form stunning pink bouquets of mushrooms.
They will grow on almost anything, they are not fussy about their substrates which makes them perfect for the home-grower and beginner cultivator. Pink Oyster mycelium has a pink colour to it and pink oyster grain spawn will not go fully white like other species so don't worry if you can't see much action on your grains.
