Never in growing mushrooms was pink a good color for me, as it often indicates salmonella! This ';salmon'; colored growth should definately be addressed asap. It can be found in your toilet ring at home, which is ALSO why dogs shouldn't drink from the toilet. Best of luck with that!What kind of bacteria or fungus is pink and would grow inside a trach tube?

Pseudomonas?





Let her physician know, because it can be nasty as a lung infection.
