Introducing our 7 Grain Blend Grain bags, meticulously crafted for mushroom cultivation enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of quality and convenience. These have a blend of Oat, Wheat, Millet, Rye , Milo, Sorghum, Corn, and Rye.
Here's how to make the most of your purchase:
- Upon receiving bags, remove the rubber bands and unroll the bag. Our bags are pre-sealed before sterilizing, so they will arrive vacuum tight.
- Gently expand the gussets and prop the bag upright to allow air to flow through the filter for a minimum of 24 hours. This prepares the grain for inoculation by facilitating easy massaging.
- While optional, it's advisable to store the bags for 5-7 days to confirm sterility, ensuring your chosen culture remains pristine. Perform an agar test during this period.
- Massage the bags gently with your palms to loosen the grain.
- Sterilize the injection port with an alcohol wipe and inject 2-10 cc/ml of liquid culture.
- Between inoculations, flame sterilize the syringe using a butane torch or induction heater (avoid wiping with alcohol).
- Store the bags in any room at 72-78 degrees Fahrenheit; avoid using heating mats or incubators. Expect visible growth within 7-14 days, depending on species and conditions.
- Once 30% growth is evident, gently mix the bags to distribute and break apart the mycelium.
- Refrain from relocating the bags until they're fully colonized.
- Allow an additional 3 days post-100% colonization before spawning your bags to the desired substrate.
