Pink Flamingo Oyster Mushroom

Thank you so much Neil, I am happy that you liked it.

Thank you Cindy and Mayra.

Thank you Suzanne. The substratum is hay. Making the substratum is a long process, but the result is very pretty. The hay is soaked in water for 12 hours. Then,is boiled for about an hour / or chemicals like formalin is added to sterilise it. [My dad and me boiled the hay, we thought not to use any chemicals]. We bought the spores of the mushroom from an Agro outlet. [The spores are coated over rice grains.] After sterilising the hay we twist it into circles and fill it in a plastic cover and is kept on wet sand. After about 21 days mycellium will cover the whole hay surface. In that stage we remove the plastic cover and hang it in a humid place[ we have hung it under a tree]. And 'voila' we have beautiful mushrooms sprouting out of it everyday. We only need to constantly sprinkle water and keep it humid.
