Cholesterol Control

Anti-inflammatory
High phenolic compound content neutralizes ROS and reduces systemic inflammation at the cellular level
Already colonized with our fastest, most dramatic species — cut this block open and you'll see vivid magenta pins within days, not weeks. Pleurotus djamor clusters double in size every 12 hours once fruiting starts, so check daily once pins appear.
Loves warmth (75–85°F) and needs no special climate control in most homes. Harvest before the wavy edges appear for the best color and flavor — the pink fades fast once cooked, so plan to cook the same day you pick.
Each block: 5lb pre-colonized Pink Oyster substrate, sealed and ready to fruit. Store in a cool spot out of direct sun until you're ready to cut it open.
