Grain spawn is probably the most widely-used, consistent and effective starting point for mushroom cultivation projects. One bag of spawn can inoculate 10 times its weight of bulk substrates such as straw, sawdust and wood chips. It can also be used as a spawn "master" to first inoculate more sterilized grain, then substrate, resulting in a 10,000% increase in biomass!

Because the mycelium has had a running start in sterile conditions, mature grain spawn is naturally resistant to contamination and can be handled directly for spawning bulk substrates like sawdust, wood chips, dowels, and straw.

Rye is a favorite of the cereal grains. Its dense structure and high nutritional content supports the luxuriant growth of most desireabe mushroom species. USDA certified organic grain, grown in Oregon.

We do our best to begin custom orders within 1-2 business days. We will inoculate your grain spawn, incubate it under observation, mix it when needed and send it when the mycelium has fully enveloped the rye. We strive to produce spawn that is healthy, vigorous, clean and arrives in a state of active growth, ready for use.

The whole process usually takes 2-4 weeks, though this may vary depending on the species and the phase of the moon. We'll reach out with an ETA as soon as we receive your order, we'll keep you in the loop about its progress and we'll send you a shipment notification with tracking as soon as it's ready.

Note: shipping 2 bags costs the same as 1.
