Pink Oysters ?
    #26995548 - 10/21/20 12:00 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

I am new to oysters. I mixed colonized grain with pasteurized straw and put them in a grow bag. A month later here is what I have. I have a few questions.
Does this look ok (as in healthy)?
I see some fruit already and even some coming out of the filter so I assume its ready to fruit. How do I fruit this?
Thank you.

Here is one bag


Here is another

That straw looks wet AF, doesnt look anywhere near as consolidated as it should be for fruiting either. Just looks like you got quick colonization and pinning on the top where it wasn't as saturated. I dont really know where you should go from here. Personally I would poke a pin hole in the bottom and drain the bag so the rest of your sub can colonize properly. Also you should switch to hardwood pellets bc straw is a pain in the ass.

I agree that looks really wet.  You might dry your straw more next time for better results.  Although pink colonization is normal to be pretty thin and not a solid thick white block.  That looks really bacterial though.

As far as fruiting them, they have been fruiting for a while.  See that large pink mass that climbed to the filter patch?  That was your fruit.  I can't imagine it's going to do much else now, but you could try cutting some x's or slits in the bag and see.  I would just throw them in the garden if it's warm enough though.

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

I will start over and next time plan on using wood pellets.
Those fruit seen in the bags are they ok to eat?

Safe if cooked, don't know that they're gonna be any good though?

Yea they will be safe to eat but I don't think you will want to.

You might have a look at my water content tek if you will be using fuel pellets next time.

Sorry, I didn't see the fruits coming out of the patch. I thought you were talking about the blob under the patch. I have eaten the fruits that grew out of the patch many times.

You can eat oyster mushrooms raw but they will be much better tasting cooked.

Water content...
