    Does a photoflash of a digital camera affects the growth of Oyster mushroom compared to non?

    Answer

    Dear ayshiree9, it is unlikely that your camera's flash would affect (in a significant way), positively or negatively, the growth of an oyster mushroom. The flash is just a momentary burst of light, which many mushrooms that grow in forests experience as the canopy moves in the wind and flashes of sunlight penetrate down into the forest. Best wishes.
