Why we love them:
Pink oyster mushrooms aren’t just strikingly beautiful. They are also succulent and savory, and are perfect sautéed or added to pastas, pizzas, and more. Given their denser texture, pink oysters make a wonderful meat substitute. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can find recipes that use them in everything from burritos to bbq sandwiches. They even make amazing vegan bacon, too!
About the kit:
Our USDA-certified organic pink oyster mushroom kits are reliable producers and tend to yield large flushes of beautiful light pink to deep pinkish-red mushrooms when given adequate humidity. With continued proper care, you may be able to get multiple flushes. (We 100% guarantee your first flush of mushrooms, but hope you'll try for 2 or 3!)
Note: As a tropical oyster mushroom strain, they thrive with higher humidity and their color intensifies if given adequate indirect sunlight.
"5 of the Best Pink Oyster Mushroom Recipes"
That's not mold, it's mycelium!
Your kit includes an amended sawdust block fully colonized with mushroom mycelium. It may appear covered with a soft, white, mold-like substance - that's the mushroom mycelium! It is completely normal. The mycelium of some species is more prominent than others.

1) Inside this box is an amended sawdust block that has been completely colonized by mushroom mycelium. Open the front of your kit along the perforated line and dispose of the remaining cardboard.
2) Slice an 'X' into the plastic underneath with a sharp knife or scissors.
3) Lift open the top of your box to find the sprayer and instruction booklet. Fill the sprayer with tap water and generously spritz the plastic where you sliced your 'X' shape. Spritz your kit at least twice daily - more if you're in a particularly dry climate. (If your mushrooms start to grow but dry up and die, your growing conditions may be too dry and you should make a humidity tent!)
4) Place your kit in the most humid part of your home and outside of direct sunlight. We suggest putting it on a kitchen counter close to a sink. The mushroom mycelium will sense the oxygen in the air and produce mushroom 'pins,' another term for 'baby mushrooms.'
5) It usually takes 5-14 days for pins to form. Once pins begin to form, mushrooms will grow quickly. So when you spot your first pins keep an eye on them. The warmer the environment the faster they will grow. Mushrooms should be ready to harvest 2-5 days after pin formation.
-
Do not refrigerate pink oyster kits. If you're not ready to use immediately, your Pink Oyster Spray & Grow Kit stored at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, for up to 6 months.

The classic North Spore recipe is to chop the pink oyster mushrooms and sauté them in a heavy pan on medium heat with butter, garlic, and loads of fresh thyme and rosemary (or whatever other herbs you happen to have on hand!). Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, then continue cooking until that liquid has cooked off and the mushrooms begin to brown. This can take from 20-30 minutes. Deglaze your pan with a splash of white wine, reduce once more, and finish with a touch of heavy cream. Season generously with salt.

USDA Certified Organic
The spawn used in our mushroom kits is grown on organic grain and made with organic cultures from our own culture bank. Our kits are handmade from a blend of non-GMO woods and supplements from farms and forests in New England and North America.
-
Simply take a trash bag or other loosely fitting plastic bag and put PLENTY of 1/2 inch holes in it (THIS IS IMPORTANT: Mushrooms exhale CO2 and inhale oxygen. They will suffocate themselves if there isn’t adequate airflow! Pink oysters that look stringy or strange are usually growing that way because they need more air!). Spray the slice at least once per day with the included spray bottle. If you choose to use a humidity tent make sure to spray the inside of the tent once per day to maintain humidity.
-
If you’re going to consume home-grown mushrooms, make sure to cook your fresh mushrooms thoroughly with heat. If it is your first time eating this species, it is best to start with a small amount to check for allergies, even if cooked.
Mushrooms grow spores as they develop. This is a natural means of reproduction. This is when people with allergies or compromised immune systems may want to consider putting fruiting mushroom kits outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Spores in mushrooms sometimes cause respiratory irritation. In rare cases, spores may also cause irritation for some non-allergic or non-immunocompromised mushroom growers. If you are one of them, it is recommended to reduce the overall spore load by harvesting mushrooms while they are still in their younger growth stages.

Worked like a charm
Got it for a friend and they were no trouble for him
North Spore
Awesome, Justin! Thank you for your review.

Can’t wait to cook them!
Tried to wait to use the kit because I was leaving on vacation but it started growing without cutting an x, so I took it with me! It was pinning on the ride to the lake and was harvested in 5 days and they were HUGE. So much more than the last grow kit I tried with blue oyster Can’t wait to shred and make them into crispy mushroom tacos.
North Spore
Sounds awesome, McKenzie! Hope you enjoyed the pink oysters.

North Spore does it again.
We started our pink oyster kit 6 days ago. We are already harvesting our first MASSIVE flush today. I think I love this hobby. I have gone from 1 Lions mane kit to 2 Lions mane, a Blue oyster and a Pink oyster and will be starting an outdoor bed in a couple of weeks.
North Spore
Great pics, Nick! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience!

The Kit That Got Me Into Mycology
The spray and grow kit from North Spore is what got me into mycology several years ago. Simple to use, beyond fun to grow, and incredibly rewarding to harvest and enjoy. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family.
North Spore
We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed it so much!

Kit still going strong!
We had two bountiful harvests from our spray and grow kit. Hoping for more mushroom awesomeness, we followed one of the videos on the North Spore website and mixed the spent kit with some soaked straw, then added the mix to a bucket with some holes drilled in it. I just harvested ANOTHER huge bunch of mushrooms from our new mushroom garden. This kit just keeps on giving! As you can see on the bucket, cheers to old hobbies making way for new hobbies!
North Spore
Wow, congrats on your fabulous harvest, Michael! Thank you so much for sharing.

Not worth it
We got a few mushrooms then a lot of mold. It was not worth the price. Sorry I wanted to fall in love with home grown mushrooms but it was an expensive frustrating lesson.
