Mega Mix Sterilized Grain Jar
Inoculation: Inject 5cc of liquid culture or spore solution into the jar.
Incubation: Incubate at room temperature (65-75°F) for 4-6 weeks until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Gently shake the jar when it's around 30% colonized to distribute the mycelium.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: One quart jar can inoculate up to 5lbs of 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: Mix gently after inoculation to evenly distribute the liquid culture or spore solution.
Sterilized Rye Berry Quart Jar
Inoculation: Inject spores or liquid culture through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at room temperature until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Shake the jar when it's about 30% colonized to distribute the mycelium evenly.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Use colonized grains to inoculate bulk substrates or for grain-to-grain transfers.
Storage and Shelf Life: Jars are ready to use out of the box. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to inoculate.
Additional Tips: The built-in gas exchange filter optimizes conditions for rapid mycelial colonization.
Sterilized Rye Berry Pint Jar
Inoculation: Inject spores or liquid culture through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at room temperature for about 30 days until fully colonized.
Shake and Break: Gently shake the jar after inoculation to distribute the spores or liquid culture evenly.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: One pint jar can inoculate up to 2 pounds (3 quarts) of bulk substrate.
Storage and Shelf Life: Jars are ready for immediate use. Store unused jars in a cool, dry place.
Additional Tips: The 5-micron filter patch allows for gas exchange while minimizing contamination risk.
Sterilized White Millet Quart Jar
Inoculation: Inoculate the jar using the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at room temperature until the mycelium has fully colonized the substrate.
Shake and Break: Shake the jar gently after inoculation to distribute the inoculum evenly.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Use the colonized millet as spawn for bulk substrates.
Storage and Shelf Life: Jars are prepared for immediate use. Store unopened jars in a cool, dry place.
Additional Tips: The nutrient-rich millet base is perfect for various gourmet mushroom strains.
Sterilized Popcorn Mushroom Substrate Jar
Inoculation: Inject spores or liquid culture through the self-healing injection port.
Incubation: Incubate at room temperature until the mycelium has fully colonized the substrate.
Shake and Break: Gently shake the jar after inoculation to evenly distribute the inoculum.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Use the colonized popcorn as spawn for bulk substrates or grain-to-grain transfers.
Storage and Shelf Life: Jars are ready for immediate use. Store unused jars in a cool, dry place.
Additional Tips: Popcorn's superior moisture retention promotes robust mycelial growth.
Sterilized BRF & Vermiculite Jar with Injection Port & Filter
Inoculation: Inject spore solution through the self-healing injection port, making a circular motion to distribute evenly.
Incubation: Incubate at room temperature until the mycelium has fully colonized the substrate.
Shake and Break: Not applicable for BRF cakes.
Spawning to Bulk Substrate: Birth the fully colonized BRF cake into your desired fruiting chamber.
Storage and Shelf Life: Jars can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to six months before use.
Additional Tips: After birthing the cake, the jar and lid are reusable for future cultivation projects.
