Gypsum
Powdered gypsum is used to increase the pH in mushroom growing substrates such as coco choir, sawdust, coffee grounds and straw. It is a yield enhancer as it supplies minerals and trace elements to the mycelium.
It is also used when preparing grain spawn to stop the grain from clumping together.
Gypsum should be mixed at a rate of 2.5% of the dry weight of the bulk substrate and 1 tablespoon per litre of grain spawn.

Popcorn
Popcorn is used for grain spawn, easy to prepare and good grain to begin with.
Coco Coir
Coir is a commercially available mix of ground up coconut husk and shells. Coir is one of the best bulk mediums to grow mushrooms in. It’s naturally resistant to mold and bacteria and mushrooms absolutely love it. When wet it expands to over 2.5 cubic feet.

Horse Manure
Horse manure is an excellent substrate that can be used simply as an added nutrient to straw, grain and other substrate mixtures. Dried and crumbled for your convenience.
Hardwood Sawdust
Our hardwood sawdust is sourced from a trusted supplier whose mill works with approximately 80% oak and 20% other hardwoods. This means you’re getting a 100% hardwood mix, ideal for mushroom cultivation. The blend of dense, lignin-rich hardwoods—especially oak—provides an excellent substrate for growing a wide range of wood-loving mushrooms.
Hydrated Lime
Cold Water Lime Pasteurization, is a cheap and effective low-tech way to prepare substrates for growing mushrooms.
This type of substrate treatment is easy for most people to do at home.
It’s even used by some small-scale commercial mushroom growing operations that want a low-tech, cheap and effective way to pasteurize straw.
The overall process is very similar to growing mushrooms on straw with heat pasteurization, the only difference is to replace heat with lime.
This process is mainly used to treat straw for growing Oyster mushrooms.
Use 20 grams of hydrated lime per 10 liter s of water.
Simply add the appropriate amount of lime to cold water, mix and add your straw. Leave the straw to soak for 24 hours and it is ready to be drained and inoculated.
