Grain Spawn

Description

Grow your own mushrooms with the use of our quality grain spawn.

Made to order, please allow for 2 weeks before we can courier it.

Grain spawn is the living culture of a fungus, called mycelium, growing on a grain-based material, or substrate. It can be used as a tool for expanding the amount of fungal material you have, through inoculation.

Serving a similar function to seeds, spawn is what growers use to start cultivating mushrooms.

Where a gardener or farmer might plant a tomato seed to grow a tomato plant, a mushroom gardener or mushroom farmer will use mushroom spawn to grow edible fungi.
