Pink Oyster Mushrooms: GROW and COOK (Tastes Like Bacon!!)

Pink Oyster Mushrooms are super easy to grow at home, and if you cook ‘em right, they really do taste just like bacon.

In this video we grow some Pink Oysters outside in a mini-greenhouse, harvest, and Tegan shows us all how to make them delicious.

The fruiting blocks were made from sawdust and bran, inoculated with ½ quart of Pink Oyster grain spawn.

Tastes Like Bacon!! I never clicked so fast. 😂

I was able to grow these without adding any humidity in a cold basement in winter! These seem to grow through anything definitely the easiest mushrooms I've grown and everybody loves the look, texture and flavor too.

I just bought a pink oyster mushroom bag to grow at home, and it's already starting to get baby mushrooms after only a couple days. I was worried that they didn't look right and wasn't sure when I should harvest them, but this video helped a lot! Now I feel more confident. I'm also a vegan so I'm very ready to try bacon-ing them. Haha!

I've been growing pink and pearl oyster mushrooms for the first time. The pink were ready to be partially harvested today, so I went ahead and fried them. To my surprise, they do taste a lot like bacon!!! 😀 I used avocado oil, and seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

You guys are so cute! I Just started growing shrooms and I appreciate all the great informative vids. Keep'm comin'.

I’ve started growing mushrooms recently and your videos have been a massive help, thank you so much!

❤the emphasis on "BITS". I've been interested in pink oysters for the aesthetics, but discouraged due to shelf life. But i might try a small cult if they really are that "meaty"

I like this it's honest af so you can actually learn from the mistakes etc I love the genuineness

I'm growing a number of different mushrooms at home right now and fruiting has been the biggest challenge for me so videos like this that show how you're doing it where you maybe talk about other things you've tried and what's worked well or poorly are really good.

Thx for showing us how to make the mushroom bacon bits that helped. I got to see how much is needed and how to chop it and into what size. Highly appreciate it

Perfect coordination of blouse and mushrooms!

I grew these from wild collected spores with plans to isolate strains, process I am onto at the moment. I cooked my first multi-spore culture harvest and fried them with butter, some garlic and onion. They tasted like lobster. Delicious! Different from the oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus.

Wow! Exactly what I was looking for! Rather let a pig live a beautiful life. Thank you both for taking the time to make this video. 🌻🙏

[shawncollins]

Those look so good, and you definitely sold me with them tasting like bacon!

[randomrachael]

My love got me a grow box of these last year, they were super fun to grow and had an amazing taste :)

[zelenoye]

[eugenemarais]

I'm amazed by the non-sterile methods. Seems to work better for the oysters!

[philhahn]

My pink shrooms just sprouted today and came across this! amazing :D

Hey Tony, after watching your videos and listening to your podcasts for a while now, I finally got my small greenhouse going and just inoculated my first batch of mushrooms ( pink oysters, king oysters, pioppini and shiitaki) and I must say my pinks are colonizing at a rediculous rate. I am definitely going to use this recipe for my first flush from my first batch. Keep up the great videos and great information
