This best-selling mushroom substrate is a pasteurized, ready-to-use mushroom substrate, which is formulated for maximum yields and fast colonization.
This bulk substrate is made using a tried and true blend of coco coir, vermiculite, and gypsum, which is then fortified with several quality substrate additives, including organic worm castings, tortoise dung, and gypsum. This blend features ideal nitrogen levels, PH buffered, and ideal hydration for manure-loving species.
Use this bulk substrate in monotub, shoeboxes, or grow directly from the spawn bag.
Using With Grain Spawn:
For best results, we recommended using 2-3 lb of colonized grain spawn for each 5 lb bag of the substrate. The closer the ratio of spawn to the substrate (by volume), the shorter the colonization time, and subsequently, the likelihood of contamination.
Substrate Storage:
Our substrate can be stored for several months before use. Keep the substrate bag at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not necessary.
The bag will arrive hydrated to ideal capacity, pasteurized, and ready for use.
Available in 5lb and 10lb bags.
