Look on eBay. There are some after market PH RBG 58 hoods for a couple of
$ - look just like the originals.

Pentax Canada shows both versions of the 55-300 as coming with a hood.
If your lens is new, not new to you, it should have had a hood included.
I expect the Pentax hood is available as a part.
You may want to sit down before you look, though. One of the main UK
suppliers
used to list Pentax lens caps with the note "Same plastic, twice the
price" -
and they were. Lens hoods were up to 1/3rd of the cost of the new lens.
