Grain Spawn
What is Grain Spawn?
Grain spawn is sterilized grain (like corn) that has been fully colonized by mushroom mycelium. It serves as the “starter” or inoculant you mix into bulk substrate to grow mushrooms.
Why Use Grain Spawn?
• Colonizes quickly and reliably
• Highly nutritious for strong mycelium growth
• Works great with most gourmet and medicinal mushrooms
• Efficient — a small amount expands into a full grow
How to Use
Break up the colonized grain and mix it into pasteurized bulk substrate at a 1:2 to 1:4 ratio. Allow it to fully colonize, then introduce fruiting conditions.
Our Corn Grain Spawn comes in convenient filter-patch bags, pre-colonized and ready to use for fast, consistent results.
