THE PERFECT STERILISED GRAIN BLEND FOR SPAWN PRODUCTION
Our best-selling, optimally hydrated millet and milo grain is one of the best options for spawn production. It is superior to many other grains like rye as it colonises more rapidly and resists contamination; mycelium just loves it!
Our grain spawn is highly versatile and can be used with a variety of different mushroom species, from exotic, functional, or gourmet fungi.

HOW TO USE
The process is simple:
1. Inoculation: Simply inoculate with 5ml of gourmet culture or spore solution via the injection port and leave to colonise.
2. Colonisation: Within 3 to 4 weeks, the grain will have fully colonised the substrate and be ready to spawn to bulk.
3. Spawning: Once your grain spawn is fully colonised, simply mix it with our Bulk Substrate – CVG Mix in a MonoTub, perfect for growing exotic fungi or dung loving fungi. Alternatively, if you’re growing gourmet mushrooms, you can mix it with our Bulk Substrate – Hardwood Mix to create a high-yielding fruiting block. For therapeutic fungi we recommend a 2:1 bulk substrate to spawn ratio, but if you’re growing gourmet mushrooms we recommend a 6:1 wood-based substrate to spawn ratio.
Gone are the days of having to trawl through decade-old forum posts to figure out the fascinating but often confusing science that is growing mushrooms. Our step-by-step, easy-to-follow guide ensures a successful harvest, eliminating guesswork and making the whole process a breeze.
INGREDIENTS
Great mushrooms begin with great spawn. That is why we only use 100% natural and organic grain in our spawn. We only use the high-quality, natural ingredients for our products, specifically selected to support the optimal growth of mushrooms.
Our optimally hydrated millet and milo blend is the best grain spawn available. It’s ideal for spawn production because it colonises quickly and resists contamination better than many other grains, including Rye. We first soak and then cook our grain, carefully hydrating it to around 50% water content before sterilising the bags in a computer-controlled steam autoclave for 2 hours at 121°C.
