It also requires a dark fruiting environment with good ventilation. The substrate (growing medium) for King Oyster mushrooms can be made from a variety of materials, such as straw, sawdust, or grain.

Baby King Oyster Fruiting Humidity
The optimal humidity level for fruiting King Oyster mushrooms, is between 85-95%. Maintaining high humidity levels is important for the development of the mushrooms, as it helps to prevent the substrate (growing medium) from drying out. High humidity also helps to keep the mushrooms from becoming too slimy. This can be achieved by misting the mushrooms frequently, using a humidifier, or by creating a humid microclimate using a plastic tent or similar enclosure.

Baby King Oyster Fruiting Co2
The King Oyster mushroom, also known as Pleurotus eryngii, requires a moderate level of carbon dioxide (CO2) during the fruiting stage. The optimal range for CO2 levels is between 1000-1500ppm. This can be achieved by providing good ventilation, but not too much that the CO2 dissipates too quickly. Excessive CO2 levels can inhibit fruiting, and low levels can slow growth. Maintaining the correct CO2 level can be achieved by adjusting the ventilation or adding a CO2 generator.
Baby King Oyster Fruiting Lighting
King Oyster mushrooms, also known as Pleurotus eryngii, prefer to grow in low light conditions or complete darkness. They do not require any special lighting during the fruiting stage, as they do not use light for photosynthesis. In fact, exposing the mushrooms to light can cause them to become pale and elongated. It is best to keep the fruiting environment dark during the entire fruiting cycle, but if you need to check on the mushrooms, it is recommended to use a red light as it is the least disruptive to the mushrooms.
