Mushiis in Motion: "Pink Flamingo Oyster" Pleurotus Djamor

Pink Flamingo oyster mushrooms, botanically classified as Pleurotus Djamor, are named for their vibrant pink color and belong to the Pleurotaceae family, along with the more commonly known grey oyster mushrooms. Also known as the Salmon oyster, Flamingo oyster, and the Strawberry oyster, Pink Flamingo oyster mushrooms grow on hardwood trees and are native to tropical regions around the world. These mushrooms are favored by cultivators for their bright, vibrant hues and can be grown in warm weather climates on straw, sawdust, wood, paper, and hay. Despite their fast-growing nature, Pink Flamingo oyster mushrooms have a very short shelf life making them difficult to be sold in supermarkets, so they are predominately found at farmers markets or are grown in home cultivation kits.
