Brown Rice Flour (BRF) Mushroom Substrate Bags
Inoculation: Inject 2-3cc of liquid culture or spore solution through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at 75-80°F for 2-4 weeks until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Not recommended for BRF bags due to the cake-like consistency.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Not applicable. Fruit directly from the bag or birth cakes and place in a fruiting chamber.
Storage and Shelf Life: Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months before inoculation. Use within 1 month after inoculation.
Additional Tips: Maintain high humidity during fruiting by misting the cakes daily.
Mega Mix Sterilized Grain Bag (3lb)
Inoculation: Inject 5cc of liquid culture or spore solution through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at 70-75°F for 4-6 weeks until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Shake the bag after 20-30% colonization to redistribute the mycelium.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Mix one bag with 12-15lbs of pasteurized bulk substrate.
Storage and Shelf Life: Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months before inoculation. Use within 1 month after inoculation.
Additional Tips: Avoid temperatures above 80°F during incubation to prevent bacterial growth.
Mega Mix Sterilized Grain Bag (1lb.)
Inoculation:Inject 2-3cc of liquid culture or spore solution through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at 70-75°F for 4-6 weeks until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Shake the bag after 20-30% colonization to redistribute the mycelium.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Mix one bag with 4-5lbs of pasteurized bulk substrate.
Storage and Shelf Life: Store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months before inoculation. Use within 1 month after inoculation.
Additional Tips: Avoid temperatures above 80°F during incubation to prevent bacterial growth.
Sterilized Rye Bag with Filter Patch
Inoculation: Use grain-to-grain transfer or agar wedges. Do not inject through the bag.
Incubation: Incubate at 70-75°F for 3-5 weeks until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Shake the bag when it's about 30% colonized.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Mix one bag with 4-5lbs of bulk substrate.
Storage and Shelf Life: Store at room temperature for up to 6 months before inoculation. Use within 1 month after inoculation.
Additional Tips: Use a still air box or laminar flow hood when inoculating to reduce contamination risk.
Sterilized Rye Berry Bag with Injection Port & Filter
Inoculation: Inject 2-3cc of liquid culture or spore solution through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at 70-75°F for 3-5 weeks until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Shake the bag when it's about 30% colonized.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Mix one bag with 4-5lbs of bulk substrate.
Storage and Shelf Life: Store at room temperature for up to 6 months before inoculation. Use within 1 month after inoculation.
Additional Tips: Ensure the injection port is facing upwards during inoculation to prevent leakage.
Sterilized Popcorn Mushroom Substrate Bag (1lb)
Inoculation: Inject 2-3cc of liquid culture or spore solution through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at 75-80°F for 2-4 weeks until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Shake the bag when it's about 20-30% colonized.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Mix one bag with 4-5lbs of bulk substrate.
Storage and Shelf Life: Store at room temperature for up to 3 months before inoculation. Use within 1 month after inoculation.
Additional Tips: Popcorn is more susceptible to drying out, so make sure to keep humidity high during incubation.
Oats Mushroom Substrate Spawn Bag (3lb)
Inoculation: Inject 5cc of liquid culture or spore solution through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at 70-75°F for 4-6 weeks until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Shake the bag when it's about 30% colonized.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Mix one bag with 12-15lbs of bulk substrate.
Storage and Shelf Life: Store at room temperature for up to 3 months before inoculation. Use within 1 month after inoculation.
Additional Tips: Oats are a slower colonizer compared to other grains, so be patient during incubation.
Rye Berry Grow Bag (3 lb)
Inoculation: Inject 5cc of liquid culture or spore solution through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at 70-75°F for 3-5 weeks until fully colonized.
